The increase is mild and the news is good.

The environment will continue for a while.

Despite the interest rate hike cycle in Hong Kong, the news has been digested by the market. The current increase is mild, but it eliminates market doubts. The profit is turned into good news.

This will affect the property market trend and the developer will promote the market. It is a wise move.
