The interest rate of banks in Hong Kong continued to rise, and some large banks began to follow. The owners' desire to cut prices greatly increased, and the second-hand transaction prices continued to be under pressure. The Central Plains City Leading Index (CCL), which reflects second-hand property prices, was last at 171.83 points, down 0.8% on a weekly basis, hitting a new low of more than 3.5 years (the low of 170.87 points in February 2019). The Central Plains pointed out that property prices continued to decline steadily, and the decline showed signs of expanding. The 170-point level is a short-term support level, and it is hoped that the 170-point level can be held. ◆reporter Li Zitian
