Tech Stocks Propel China and Hong Kong Markets Amid Trade Optimism

China and Hong Kong stock indices surged to a one-month high on Tuesday, driven by renewed hopes of a China-U.S. trade deal that overshadowed disappointing service activity metrics.

Technology shares powered the indices as investors, emboldened by a robust yuan and Hong Kong dollar, shifted focus from dollar-based assets.

The gains come despite a report revealing China's services sector growth at a seven-month low, illustrating investor optimism towards potential de-escalation of trade tensions following U.S. diplomatic movements.
