Affected by US President Trump's tariff policy, US stocks continued to adjust. As for the Hong Kong stock market, there has been a recent struggle between bulls and bears, and overall trading volume has also shrunk, reflecting that investors are cautious in entering the market. Hong Kong stocks have risen a lot from lows. The market is currently in a state of healthy adjustment after a sharp rise. It is expected that the Hang Seng Index will mainly consolidate at the 20-DMA(23,778) in the short term. Before the US tariffs are settled on April 2, the Hong Kong stock market will fluctuate and have no clear direction. Most of the positive factors may reflect that more data may be needed in the future to prove that corporate profits and economic growth are sustainable in order to drive the market further upward.

Although the United States may narrow the scope of import tariffs, the trade relationship between the two countries remains unclear, which is expected to drag down the market sentiment. The Hong Kong stock market is worried about the wave of fund-raising and withdrawal. The Hang Seng Index lost its 20-DMA (23,800) and the trend quickly turned bad. The short-term resistance to return to this level is not light and it cannot be easily broken through. The risk-reward ratio of entering the market is not high at this stage.

UK, French and German stocks rose 0.3%, 1.08% and 1.13% respectively.

The Hong Kong stock market adjusted significantly last week and showed signs of weakening.

The market's mid-term uptrend started from the low of 18,671 points on January 13 this year. There were two obvious pullbacks during the period until last Friday. The first was the Hang Seng Index falling from the high of 24,076 points on February 27 to the low of 22,547 points on March 4, a correction of 1,529 points. The second was the decline from the high of 24,669 points on March 7 to the low of 23,198 points on March 13, a total correction of 1,471 points. It rose to 24,874 points last week, hitting a new high this year. However, there was a dense area at the 25,000 point level from January to February 2021, which posed considerable resistance. It turned around after rising to it last week. It is expected that the Hang Seng Index has started a short-term adjustment. The key lies in whether it can defend and stabilize the 20-DMA, and whether it is just a normal correction after a sharp rise. Otherwise, there will be no breakthrough in the short term.

European stocks closed weak, with UK, French and German stocks falling 0.63%, 0.63% and 0.47% respectively.

As expected, the U.S. Federal Reserve kept the interest rate unchanged. The dot plot showed that two interest rate cuts are expected this year, strengthening the market's expectations of a downward trend in future interest rates. In addition, the authorities will also slow down the pace of balance sheet reduction to reduce the pressure of rising debt interest rates, which will also be beneficial to the investment atmosphere and the US stock market performed well overnight.

It is expected to face certain resistance when it rises to the 25,000 mark. The support below is at the 20-day moving average (23,746). There is a high chance that it will enter a consolidation period in the short term.
