The Shanghai Composite rose 0.9% to a two-month high of 4,151 on Wednesday, while the Shenzhen Component climbed 2.4% to 15,464, its strongest level since March 2021, as investors returned from an extended holiday break and reacted positively to improving geopolitical development and strong momentum in technology shares. Optimism was driven by President Trump’s signals of progress toward a potential Iran agreement and a temporary pause in US-led maritime operations in the Strait of Hormuz to support diplomacy. Sentiment was further lifted by gains in tech stocks amid strong earnings from Advanced Micro Devices and Super Micro Computer, with notable performers including Hygon Information Technology (20%), Cambricon Technologies (11.8%), Zhongji Innolight (3.2%) and NAURA Technology (3.8%). Meanwhile, a private survey showed that China’s composite PMI rose to 53.1 in April from 51.5 in March, supported by growth in both manufacturing (52.2 vs. 50.8) and services (52.6 vs. 52.1) PMIs.
