The Hang Seng Tech Index dropped more than 2%, giving back some of yesterday's gains, with the overall market showing a narrow fluctuation pattern of high-level retreat. On the market, small-cap technology and thematic stocks performed exceptionally actively, as funds deeply participated in structural opportunities amid the weakness of heavyweight blue chips. Stocks such as Hengyi Holdings, EDA Group Holdings, and XunCe surged against the market trend, reflecting that the market's short-term preference has shifted towards high elasticity and high volatility growth sectors
