Geely Automobile Holdings Ltd., a prominent Chinese automaker, witnessed a remarkable surge in its stock price on October 10th, with shares skyrocketing 11.71% amidst a broad market rally and heightened expectations of further government stimulus measures.
The Hong Kong stock market experienced a significant upswing, with the Hang Seng Index climbing 2.98% and the Hang Seng Tech Index rising 2.05%. This positive market sentiment played a pivotal role in driving Geely Auto's shares higher, as investors responded favorably to the overall bullish environment.
Fueling the market's enthusiasm was China's central bank's announcement of a 500-billion-yuan swap facility, allowing securities, fund, and insurance firms to access liquid assets for stock purchases. This stimulus initiative, forming part of a broader economic support package, ignited a rally across various sectors, including the automotive industry where Geely Auto operates. Investors interpreted this move as a signal of the government's commitment to bolstering the nation's economic growth, sparking renewed optimism and driving the surge in equity valuations.
