Hong Kong Stocks Expected To Rise On Monday Amid Policy Signals - Hang Seng +1.5% PM

Hong Kong shares are tipped to rise on Monday amid upbeat policy signals and improved risk sentiment. The Hang Seng index is expected to open about +1.5% on February 09, 2026, supported by mainland China's continued support for the Special Administrative Region and easing capital controls. Supporting context includes a 0.5% rise in the Hang Seng before the open on February 08, 2026, and a 1.2% gain in mainland China's CSI 300 index on February 08, 2026. The move follows a mainland-chartered bank's announcement of a yuan-denominated bond issuance, signaling continued financial cooperation.
