Is There a January Effect in Hang Seng Index?

By Osbert Tang, CFA

  • We observed an interesting January effect for HSI in recent years. The Index posted the best monthly return in a year in four out of six Januarys since 2017.
  • At an average return of 3.9%, January is also the second best month for HSI. If not the super-strong Nov in 2022, January will rank as the best.
  • Conducive factors for a good January in 2023 include encouraging message from Central Economic Work Conference, moderation in US rate hike, rebound in Rmb and more relaxations in COVID measures.
