Stocks in Hong Kong and mainland China advanced on Friday and extended weekly gains amid hopes of improved earnings and policy support.
The Hang Seng index gained more than 1.5%, and the mainland-focused CSI 300 index advanced more than 1%, amid expectations of improving earnings in the manufacturing sector and Internet-based platform operators.
For the week, the Hang Seng index gained 2.2% and the CSI index advanced to 2.7%, and the benchmark indexes reached new three-month highs.
Investors moved on from constantly changing U.S. trade policy and arbitrary threats from the U.S. president.
The key U.S. trade partners—China, Japan, the European Union, Canada, and Mexico—have resisted aggressive import taxes announced by the Trump administration.
But the ensuing business uncertainty has disrupted international trade and roiled global financial markets.
Investors in China are dialing down expectations for economic growth in the second half, as exporters face headwinds and reduced profitability.
Investors are hoping that a Politburo meeting later in the month may provide additional fiscal stimulus, but for now policymakers are resisting the move.
