Marvell slides as guidance disappoints; Wall Street wants more details on Google revenue

SHANGHAI - On Friday, China stocks remained stagnant, with gains in real estate shares counterbalancing losses in biotech and chipmaking sectors, according to data. Hong Kong stocks, however, saw an increase following a positive trend on Wall Street the previous night. The Shanghai Composite Index ticked up by 0.1%, whereas the large-cap CSI300 Index slipped by 0.1%.

Hong Kong's Hang Seng Index gained 0.5%. Morgan Stanley noted that China's A-share sentiment has cooled due to rising US yields, but the bank still sees potential for the A-share market to improve as liquidity constraints lessen and global AI trading gains momentum, as per a recent note.

US tech stocks rose after Nvidia's strong revenue forecast reinforced the AI boom, lifting gains in technology shares. However, Chinese chipmakers declined on Friday after a brief rebound from the middle of the week. Chinese biotech stocks were among the steepest fallers, while real estate shares staged a notable rally despite indications of further sectoral decline.

Morgan Stanley highlighted that the ongoing property downturn is a critical factor in China's uneven recovery, and another growth shortfall could heighten the chances of additional policy support this fall. The bank believes a rebound in the equity market is feasible if confirmed.

In Hong Kong, materials, media, and IT stocks were among the top gainers, while semiconductor and shipping shares were the biggest losers.
