As demand for properties in Hong Kong stays high, the government has been taking
measures in an attempt to cool down the soaring property prices. However, these efforts
have muted or rather minimal impacts so far. Low interest rates environment which
depends on the US interest rates, is expected to remain generous and thus provides
incentives to the housing market. The US FOMC is expected to keep the interest rates at the
current level until perhaps early next year. Until then, property sector seems to have one
more quarter to flourish.
Technical Analysis
Hang Lung Properties stumbled into resistance at HK$38.30-HK$38.35 area and showing
increased potential for correction near term. The correction however, should not be of
something surprising as the stock has been rising nearly relentlessly from HK$25.95 back in
May.
