China Stocks Mixed After Inflation Data

2025-12-10 02:42 By Jam Kaimo Samonte 1 min. read

The Shanghai Composite fell 0.23% to close at 3,900, while the Shenzhen Component rose 0.29% to 13,316 on Wednesday, with mainland stocks showing mixed performances as rising consumer inflation reduced expectations for new policy support.

Consumer prices in China rose 0.7% year-on-year in November, the highest in nearly two years, while producer price deflation deepened.

Earlier this week, China’s Politburo highlighted the need to boost domestic demand in 2026 but signaled a cautious approach to stimulus, disappointing investors.

Attention now turns to the upcoming Central Economic Work Conference, where policymakers are expected to outline next year’s growth targets and policy plans.

Sharp losses were seen from growth-oriented stocks such as Victory Giant (-4.7%), Foxconn Industrial (-4.1%) and Sungrow Power (-4.3%), while notable gains were observed in Eoptolink Technology (3.1%), Zhongji Innolight (1.7%) and Moore Threads (17%).
