The sub-index of the Hang Seng tracking commerce & industry sector rose 0.13%, while the utilities sector fell 0.62%, the finance sector fell 0.01%, and the properties sector shed 0.12%.
Tech stocks rose amid speculation more from the industry will join the benchmark from next month. Speculation on new entries buoyed JD.com, Li Ning and Smoore International by more than 1 per cent. Kuaishou Technology, Ping An health care and NetEase rose by at least 5 per cent.
On the flip side, old-economy stocks such as developers and banks fell. Longfor Group dropped 1.7 per cent, CK Hutchison shed 1 per cent and BOC Hong Kong lost 1.1 per cent.
