The Hang Seng Index had seen a sharp rise of over 462 points on the first trading day of September, benefiting from positive external news, marking its largest increase since late July.

(9618.HK), NetEase, Inc. (9999.HK), Baidu, Inc. (9888.HK), and Alibaba Group Holding Limited (9988.HK) all recorded declines.

Consumer stocks weakened, with L’Occitane International S.A. (0973.HK) declining by approximately 25%.  

On the other hand, power stocks, which had been on a continuous decline, rebounded, with China Power International Development Limited (2380.HK) rising by more than 5%.
