China Stocks Mixed Amid Lack of Catalyst

2025-12-04 02:44 By Jam Kaimo Samonte 1 min. read

The Shanghai Composite shed 0.06% to close at 3,876, while the Shenzhen Component rose 0.4% to 13,007 on Thursday, as mainland stocks showed mixed performances amid a lack of market-moving catalysts.

Investors are awaiting updates from the annual Central Economic Work Conference and the December Politburo meeting for guidance on Beijing’s policy direction and growth targets for next year.

Economists expect China to maintain its “around 5%” annual growth target for 2026, with fiscal stimulus measures likely to mirror 2025 in scale and composition.

Among individual stocks, notable losses were seen in Foxconn Industrial (-0.5%), ZTE Corp (-0.9%) and Zhongfu Straits (-1.5%), while strong gains were recorded in Zhejiang Sanhua (7.5%), Addsino Co (8.7%) and Suzhou TFC (7.9%).

Meanwhile, global equities remain supported by expectations that the US Federal Reserve will cut interest rates next week.

China Stocks Fall to Multi-Month Lows
The Shanghai Composite fell 0.79% to close at a more than two-month low of 3,811.9, while the Shenzhen Component slumped 2.07% to an over ten-month low of 12,620.9 on Thursday, tracking losses across Asian markets after a sharp overnight selloff on Wall Street. The selloff was mainly driven by surging Treasury yields, while minutes from the Fed’s September meeting showed unanimous support among all 19 policymakers for the latest rate hike, with a majority also backing an additional increase before year-end. Attention now turns to a series of key Chinese economic releases due next week, including inflation and trade data, following the recently announced stimulus package, which included mortgage subsidies, expanded central bank funding support, and a State Council pledge to introduce "a package of practical and effective additional policies." Notable laggards included Foxconn Industrial Internet (-4.31%), China Life Insurance (-2.07%), CATL (-1.50%) and Zhongji Innolight (-3.15%).
