Furthermore, since August this year, many regions across the country have suspended subsidies for vehicle replacement and renewal policies, while some regions had already pressed the "pause button" in the first half of the year. However, with funds being allocated, many local governments have recently restarted the "national subsidies," generally adopting a "first-come, first-served" mechanism and planning fund quotas. Wang Du, Vice President of the China Automobile Dealers Association, stated that the government is expected to invest over 180 billion yuan in subsidies for trade-ins this year, which will basically lead to a 10% increase in sales.
The Hong Kong tech sector, represented by the Hang Seng Tech Index ETF (513180), is still in a historically relatively undervalued range. Against the backdrop of continuous inflows of southbound funds and the potential start of a new U.S. interest rate cut cycle, the Hong Kong stock market may see resonance between domestic and foreign capital in September. The tech sector, which is sensitive to external liquidity and has been suppressed previously, is expected to experience a "catch-up rally." Additionally, with the continuous advancement of "anti-involution" policies and Alibaba's better-than-expected earnings report, the Hong Kong tech sector is expected to shift from "food delivery involution" back to the AI narrative, with valuation restructuring anticipated.
