The Hang Seng Index declined 5.9% in March 2026, opening at a close of 26,060 on March 2 before hitting a monthly high of 26,404 and plunging to a low of 24,204 on March 23 amid escalating Middle East geopolitical tensions that spiked oil prices above $108 per barrel and triggered broad risk-off flows. Heavyweights in technology and financials bore the brunt, exacerbated by China's slowing credit cycle, muted policy signals from the People's Bank of China, and index rebalancing effects. Trading volume surged on volatile days like March 23, reflecting heightened trader caution. With the month ending at around 24,751, focus shifts to April 1 Caixin manufacturing PMI and prospective stimulus measures that could influence Q1 GDP trajectory and southbound capital inflows.
