Hong Kong stocks fell into bear market territory on Monday as China’s economic recovery momentum faded amid signs of more market misery. The Hang Seng index dropped by nearly 6% in morning trading, while China’s Shanghai Composite Index fell by about 3%, following weak Chinese data. Small investors began souring on China’s recovery, and geopolitical tensions continue amidst pessimism surrounding Chinese equities. However, experts say there may be potential for a rebound in the near future if China’s recovery picks up again. The stock market slump has had widespread effects on global markets, with Dow futures falling in response to the news. Investors around the world are watching closely to see how China’s economy will fare in the coming months.
