                     Hong Kong stocks rose on Wednesday, halting their longest stretch of declines since January 2024, as growing expectations of a Federal Reserve interest rate cut this month helped offset concerns over renewed tensions between China and the US.

               |  | 
                     The resumption of a policy easing cycle following the US Federal Reserve's quarter-point interest-rate reduction is likely to spur more investments into property globally, according to analysts.
For mainland China and Hong Kong, however, the impact could be less significant owing to fundamental and geopolitical strains, they added.

               |  | 
                     Hong Kong's de facto central bank cut the city's base rate for the first time this year, bringing down the cost of funding to help reboot businesses and reduce the burden on mortgage borrowers.
The Hong Kong Monetary Authority (HKMA) reduced the city's base rate by a quarter point to 4.5 per cent on Thursday, matching the US Federal Reserve's cut hours earlier to its target rate, which fell to the range of 4 per cent to 4.25 per cent during the sixth meeting of the Federal Open Market Committee......

                     Swiss private bank Lombard Odier expects the US to cut interest rates six times from September until the end of 2026, causing more capital to flow into emerging markets and benefiting Chinese stocks and bonds in coming years.
The US Federal Reserve will start lowering rates in September and reduce its key rate to 3 per cent from the current 4.5 per cent by the end of next year through a total of six cuts, said Homin Lee, a senior macro strategist with the firm, in a market outlook briefing on......
