Shares of CK Asset, a leading Hong Kong property developer, surged 5.36% on Monday, as the company prepares to launch a new residential project amid expectations of an impending interest rate cut by the U.S. Federal Reserve.

CK Asset plans to put 558 units on the market next month as part of its south side project in Hong Kong. The move comes as Hong Kong developers are poised to launch at least six new projects with a total of 2,800 flats in September, betting on a more active local property market following the anticipated rate cut of at least 25 basis points by the Fed.

Hong Kong's monetary policy moves in lock-step with the United States due to the Hong Kong dollar's peg to the U.S. dollar. As a result, any interest rate cut by the Federal Reserve would likely translate into lower borrowing costs in Hong Kong, potentially boosting housing demand and benefiting property developers like CK Asset.

Investors seem to be optimistic about the prospects of Hong Kong's property market, as CK Asset's rally led gains among major Hong Kong developers on Monday. Analysts expect the anticipated rate cut to provide a tailwind for the sector, with CK Asset well-positioned to capitalize on the improved market conditions with its new project launch.
