NewTimeSpace Research data shows that on August 18, 2026, the HK shares ETFs market exhibited a divergent pattern of slight resilience in defensive segments and sustained pressure on Korea and Asian semiconductors. Biomedicine, high-dividend stocks and ASEAN posted modest gains, leading but with limited magnitude; meanwhile Korea, Asian semiconductors, HK-Korea tech and Nikkei products saw another collective sharp pullback. Market hotspots swiftly rotated from the previous day's broad China tech rally to defensive products, but the overall profit-making effect remained weak, with selling pressure on Korea and semiconductor directions unabated and sector rotation still rapid.
