** On Friday, mainland investors purchased net of HK$9.4 billion ($1.21 billion) worth of Hong Kong stocks via the Stock Connect linking mainland and Hong Kong, Refinitiv data showed.
** That came after their buying hit a monthly record of more than HK$300 billion in January, as asset managers looked to the city for bargains.
** Kuaishou Technology surged three-fold in its Hong Kong debut to become the fifth-largest listed company in the city, driven by massive demand from mom-and-pop investors for the Chinese online video service operator.
** Worries over Sino-U.S. tensions, however, kept the gains in check.
** The United States is deliberately “creating tension” and disrupting peace and stability, China’s military said, after a U.S. warship sailed through the sensitive Taiwan Strait.
