Geely Automobile Holdings Ltd., a leading Chinese automaker, experienced a significant surge in its stock price on October 10th, with shares skyrocketing 11.71% amid a broad market rally and expectations of further government stimulus measures.
The Hong Kong stock market witnessed a remarkable upswing, with the Hang Seng Index climbing 2.98% and the Hang Seng Tech Index rising 2.05%. This positive market sentiment played a crucial role in propelling Geely Auto's shares higher, as investors responded favorably to the overall bullish environment.
A key factor fueling the market's enthusiasm was China's central bank's announcement of a 500-billion-yuan swap facility. This initiative allows securities, fund, and insurance firms to access liquid assets for stock purchases, forming part of a broader economic stimulus package aimed at bolstering the nation's economic growth. The prospect of increased liquidity and government support ignited a rally across various sectors, including the automotive industry where Geely Auto operates.
