Kuaishou Technology (01024.HK) saw its stock plummet by 5.01% in early trading on Wednesday, as Hong Kong's technology sector faced a significant sell-off. The decline comes amid broader market concerns over U.S. tariffs on Chinese imports and their potential impact on the tech industry.
The Hang Seng Tech Index, which tracks the 30 largest technology companies listed in Hong Kong, fell 4.3% in morning trading. This downturn affected various major tech players, with companies like Alibaba and JD.com experiencing similar declines of around 5%. While Kuaishou was not specifically mentioned in market reports, its sharp drop aligns with the general trend observed in the tech sector.
The sell-off in Hong Kong stocks was triggered by news that the United States plans to implement 104% duties on imports from China, set to take effect shortly after midnight. This development has raised concerns about the potential impact on Chinese tech companies, many of which have significant exposure to international markets. As investors reassess risks associated with U.S.-China trade tensions, tech stocks like Kuaishou appear particularly vulnerable to market volatility.
