Hong Kong Stocks Open Lower as Hang Seng Tech Drops 1.28%

The tech-heavy Hang Seng Tech Index underperforming the broader benchmark at the open points to continued pressure concentrated in growth and platform names rather than a uniform risk-off move across Hong Kong equities. That distinction matters for anyone tracking how sentiment toward Chinese technology is holding up relative to the wider market. Whether the gap between the two indices widens or closes through the session is the open question, since a narrowing would suggest the weakness is broad-based rather than sector-specific.
