The Hang Seng Index has surged to its highest level since October, driven by renewed interest in technology stocks following the rise of Chinese startup DeepSeek. The index has gained 6% and the Hang Seng Tech Index 12% since early February, with Alibaba's stock jumping 30% after unveiling its AI model, Qwen 2.5 Max. Despite this rebound, Chinese indices remain below 2021 highs, and market sentiment is fragile, though government initiatives to support the stock market could attract more international investment.
