The Shanghai Composite rose 0.6% to close around 3,914, while the Shenzhen Component gained 1.1% to 13,760 on Friday, buoyed by upbeat economic data. However, both benchmarks slipped over the week, falling 1.1% and 0.8%, respectively, as lingering uncertainty over the Middle East conflict weighed on investor sentiment. While President Donald Trump extended the Iran negotiations deadline by 10 days, reports that the US may deploy up to 10,000 additional troops to the region further weighed on risk appetite. Markets also tracked upcoming US–China diplomatic engagement, with Trump expected to meet Xi Jinping in May after delays linked to the conflict. Meanwhile, the latest data showed China’s industrial profits jumped 15.2% year-on-year in January–February, pointing to improving factory earnings despite external headwinds. Among individual stocks, notable gains were seen in PetroChina (1.1%), Kweichow Moutai (1.1%), Zijin Mining (1.2%), Contemporary Amperex (3.4%), and BYD (2.1%).
