Xingye Securities chief strategy analyst Zhang Qiyao said that since the conflict between the US and Iran broke out, there has indeed been signs of foreign capital returning to Hong Kong stocks. According to data from the Hong Kong Stock Exchange, since March this year, international intermediaries have ended the previous trend of unilateral outflow of funds and gradually began to flow back in small amounts, changing to two-way transactions. According to the estimate of data from the Hong Kong Stock Exchange custodial institutions, from March 2nd to March 18th, international intermediaries cumulatively netted inflows of 210 million Hong Kong dollars. However, he also pointed out that the recent increase in Hong Kong stocks by foreign capital may be dominated by flexible funds in the Asia-Pacific region, rather than long-term capital from the Middle East.
