As of last Friday (12th), the HSI had increased by 29% YTD, putting it on course for its strongest annual performance in the past decade since the 36% growth in 2017.

Following an 18% increase in 2024, the HSI has extended its upward momentum into 2025, according to the Hang Seng Indexes Company. The YTD rally was fueled by several key drivers, such as record inflows via Southbound Stock Connect, optimism surrounding the future development of AI, and rate cuts.
