I expect a pretty good growth from HSBC.

It's time for the blue-chip stocks to catch up with the H shares. It's obvious that funds are switching to blue-chip stocks from the pricey H shares, which may have reached a peak.

Interest rate uncertainty and the fact that major blue chips have already announced results force a new correction on the market.

Property stocks rose because the market is speculating that other Hong Kong banks will also lower rates, reducing the burden on property buyers.

The market will move relatively sideways in the absence of any stimulus. There's a lack of trading theme.

China shares will continue to get market attention.

Investors are hoping the 15,000 point level will hold. If the index breaks through that level, then the market may have further corrections. If it holds, then this means current market consolidation is a healthy one.

It makes sense for investors to take profits at this stage, as many stocks, especially the [mainland] equities, have jumped a lot this year.

If the HSI falls below the major support at the 50-Day moving average of 15,314, it might have a negative impact on the recent rally seen in third and fourth liners stocks.
