Surge in Computing Power Demand Boosts Premiums,E Fund (HK) Wind Digital Technology Index ETF (03434.HK) Jumps 2.66% to Lead Tech Sector

Newtime space News: As of the Hong Kong Stock Exchange (HKEX) close on April 15, 2026, E Fund Digital Technology ETF (03434.HK) surged 2.66% to close at HKD 14.690, with an intraday high of HKD 14.840 and a low of HKD 13.800, notably outperforming the Hang Seng Tech Index. Since the early morning session, news of domestic cloud service giants raising AI computing power prices triggered a market revaluation of computing demand and profitability. Furthermore, sustained capacity constraints among overseas optical chip suppliers, coupled with global semiconductor sales growth hitting new highs, propelled related supply chain companies to sharp gains.

According to HKEX closing data, the ETF has shown significant year-to-date performance, with assets under management (AUM) reaching HKD 16.1842 million and total shares outstanding at 1.1 million units.

E Fund Digital Technology ETF (03434.HK) tracks the Wind Digital Technology Net Total Return Index. The index focuses on the core drivers of the digital economy, covering "hard tech" fields such as Big Data, Cloud Computing, Artificial Intelligence, Cybersecurity, Semiconductors, and 5G. Compared to the traditional Hang Seng Tech Index, this index emphasizes the integration of "digital infrastructure" and "technology applications," possessing a stronger "hard tech" attribute. Within the index, constituents involved in AI chips and advanced process nodes led the gains. Additionally, with the normalization of platform economy regulation and recovering profitability, the SaaS and internet services sub-sectors contributed steady upward momentum.

On the news front, Market sentiment shifted back to technology stocks as investors caught a breath from the Iran-Israel tensions. As of April, Middle Eastern geopolitical strains have gradually eased, with the latest reports indicating a return to the negotiating table. Trump recently stated that the conflict was "nearing an end," fueling a recovery in market sentiment and leading to overnight gains in US and European markets. Price adjustments by domestic cloud giants reflect a supply-demand crunch in the AI computing market, benefiting upstream suppliers. Meanwhile, the global semiconductor cycle recovery has provided a powerful lift to the semiconductor industry index.
