According to market analysis, looking ahead to the first week of the Year of the Dog, Zhitong Finance is optimistic. Naturally, the first influencing factor was peripheral. Although it was only two and a half days, considering that the US stock market was closed for a day, that is, a day and a half, the overall performance was positive, creating good conditions for a good start for Hong Kong stocks. The Hong Kong Stock Connect was still closed until the 7th day, but the opening of Hong Kong Stock Connect and the supplementary factors of A-shares are expected to give a positive impetus to the market. Currently, as far as Hong Kong stocks are concerned, as long as there is no sharp decline in the periphery, then Hong Kong stocks are very strong. It is worth mentioning that blue-chip stocks have entered a performance period, and the performance of heavy stocks is also the key to future market performance.
