Hong Kong’s benchmark Hang Seng Index opened lower on Tuesday and was down 1% at the time of writing. The index closed almost 0.4% lower on Monday.
Why Is It Moving? The Hang Seng Index extended losses to a fifth day amid worries about weak earnings results from Chinese tech giants following Beijing’s regulatory crackdown on Big Tech.
Food-delivery platform operator Meituan and short-video app company Kuaishou Technology are among the major companies scheduled to report earnings results this week.
Speculation about stiffer regulations by Beijing on tech companies also weighed on sentiment.
China’s market regulator has proposed a long list of responsibilities and said it expects more from “super large platforms” like Alibaba, Tencent and Meituan in the areas of data protection, treatment of workers, and fair competition, it was reported, citing Reuters.
