China market gains, HSI rally

Asian markets, including Hong Kong and mainland China, saw gains after Chinese state media announced government efforts to support the economy. This included measures to strengthen fiscal and monetary policies, halt the decline of the real estate market, and spur its stable recovery. The news boosted stocks in the region, with the Hang Seng index and mainland Chinese markets both rising. Other markets in Asia, such as Japan, South Korea, and Australia, also saw gains driven by positive news and developments in the tech industry. The US markets, however, saw a slight decline despite hitting new records earlier in the day.
