The price index of the U.S. Federal Reserve has risen for 5 consecutive weeks to reach a new high of over 1 year. The interest rate cut effect is fermenting, which is helping to boost the atmosphere of the Hong Kong property market.

The US price index has risen for 5 consecutive weeks, with the latest report at 130.96 points, an increase of 0.28% weekly. The cumulative increase so far this year has further expanded to 2.21%, approaching 131 points, reaching a new high of over 1 year since August last year. It is worth noting that the latest weekly price index already reflects the combined effects of the US restarting interest rate cuts in mid-September and the Hong Kong "Policy Address". US property analyst Chan Songqian pointed out that the new round of tariff wars broke out late Friday last week, but the impact of geopolitical risks on the real estate market remains to be observed and will be reflected in the upcoming US building price index and US confidence index. However, Chan Songqian believes that both China and the United States have room for easing tensions, and believes that the impact of the tariff war is temporary. As the interest rate cut effect further develops, it will help drive overall investment and the real estate market atmosphere, and the confidence index will maintain a high level. Chan Songqian also pointed out that the latest building price and confidence index have both risen weekly. The latest US confidence index, which reflects the attitudes of owners in listing properties, is reported at 76.7 points, up 1.5% weekly, stabilizing above 75 points for 10 consecutive weeks, with a narrow fluctuating trend. More importantly, the confidence index has been above the average value (the threshold between good and weak building prices) for 45 consecutive weeks, indicating that building prices are expected to continue to rise, with a potential increase of about 2% this quarter.
