The Hang Seng Index fell 270 points, or 1.0%, to 25,645 on Friday, extending its losing streak to a third session as risk appetite remained subdued amid persistent geopolitical uncertainty and uneven global cues. Sentiment was influenced by developments in the Middle East, where Donald Trump said Israel and Lebanon would extend their ceasefire by three weeks, providing some temporary relief but doing little to ease concerns over stalled US-Iran negotiations and the broader risk of escalation. Oil prices advanced for a fifth straight session reinforcing worries about prolonged supply risks and inflation pressures. Concerns that tensions could disrupt flows through key shipping routes, including the Strait of Hormuz, further dampened sentiment. Moreover, in Hong Kong, it opened lower following overnight losses on Wall Street. Notable laggards included Tencent Holdings (-1.3%), AIA Group (-0.1%), Geely Automobile (-1.8%), Akeso (-1.9%), and Kingboard Laminates (-3.6%).
