The Hang Seng Index ended Friday at 24,481.86 points, reversing part of the previous session's sharp advance. A global sell-off in technology stocks and profit-taking weighed on Hong Kong equities.

The Hang Seng Index ended the Friday, November 6, 2026, session at 24,481.86 points, down 315.12 points or 1.27 percent from the previous close. The closing level and daily move were reported by NAMPA, citing Xinhua. The Hong Kong market was already closed by the 18:30-19:30 Europe/Berlin reporting window.

Technology Shares Lead Retreat

Friday's decline came after the Hang Seng had jumped 3.67 percent to 24,796.98 points on Thursday. That prior-session close was reported by NAMPA, citing Xinhua. The latest move therefore represented a partial reversal of Thursday's rally rather than a full retracement.

Trading Economics linked the weaker tone to a sharp sell-off in US technology shares, concerns about tighter scrutiny of the artificial-intelligence industry and doubts about the sustainability of heavy spending on data centers and semiconductor infrastructure. The report also cited profit-taking after Thursday's strong advance. The Nasdaq was reported as falling 5.5 percent, while the Philadelphia Semiconductor Index lost 12.2 percent.

Rebound Still Visible Over Week

The retreat did not erase the week's earlier gains. Yahoo Finance showed the Hang Seng's regular-session close at 24,481.86 points and confirmed the 1.27 percent decline. The index remained above Thursday's opening level, but the session highlighted the sensitivity of Hong Kong equities to global technology sentiment.

China Daily had reported that Thursday's rally was supported by broad gains in Hong Kong-listed technology and internet companies, including Alibaba, Xiaomi and Tencent, after US midterm-election developments and falling oil prices improved the wider risk backdrop. Friday's reversal suggests that this support was not sufficient to offset the renewed pressure on AI-linked and semiconductor-related shares.
