China's stock market indexes diverged on Friday after a week of advance amid elevated geopolitical tensions in the Middle East.
The Hang Seng index increased 0.1% and extended its weekly advance to 4%, and the mainland-focused CSI 300 index edged lower and trimmed its weekly gain to 3%.
Market sentiment has remained positive despite elevated tensions in the Middle East and looming U.S. tariff uncertainties offset by global investors increasing exposure to stocks in Asia and Europe.
Investors in China remained skeptical amid mixed signals and constant change in trade policy and unverifiable claims from the unpredictable U.S. presidential administration.
Moreover, global investors continue to lower exposure to the U.S. dollar-denominated assets as the world's reserve currency loses its luster.
Traders are hoping that the Federal Reserve is more likely to consider a rate cut at its next meetings at the end of July and in September amid a weakening inflation outlook.
China Indexes and Stocks
The Hang Seng index added 0.1% to 24,343.83, and the mainland-focused CSI 300 index inched lower 0.1% to 3,945.02.

Internet-linked stocks advanced amid sustained buying by foreign investors.
Alibaba Group Holding Ltd. increased 0.2% to HK $112.50, Tencent Holdings declined 0.1% to HK $511.50, and Meituan decreased 0.1% to HK $129.50.
