Asian markets are trading in risk-off mode, as Hong Kong stocks are taking another beating while Japan and China are on holiday. Selloff in shares of the troubled Chinese giant Evergrande Group is spreading to other property stocks. The group has just announced over the weekend to start repaying its wealth management products with real estates.
At the time of writing, Hong Kong HSI is down more than -3.4% or -850 pts. As for the near term, 61.8% projection of 29394.68 to 24748.84 from 26560.03 at 23688.90 would be an important level to defend this week. Some support could be seen there to bring at least some consolidations first. However, any further downside acceleration could easy push HSI through the level to 100% projection at 21914.19. That’s a possible scenario considering the FOMC event risk this week.
