Chinese Stocks Extend Rally

2025-12-26 03:07 By Czyrill Jean Coloma 1 min. read

The Shanghai Composite edged up 0.1% to close at a more than one-month high of around 3,964 on Friday, extending its winning streak to eight sessions, the longest since July, while the Shenzhen Component rose 0.5% to a near two-month high of 13,604, as investors pushed for a stronger finish to the year.

Investors are attempting to extend gains into a year-end rally amid improving risk appetite.

Adding to the upbeat sentiment, the PBOC hinted at potential monetary easing in the near term, as Goldman Sachs highlighted the central bank’s cautious easing approach outlined in its Q4 Monetary Policy Committee statement this week.

Investors are now closely watching the conclusion of the National People’s Congress Standing Committee meeting for potential signs of additional policy support.

Notable performers included BYD (5.6%), East Money Information Co. (1.3%), and Zijin Mining Group Co. (4.7%).

For the week, the Shanghai Composite and the Shenzhen Component rose 1.9% and 3.5%, respectively.

China Stocks Track Asian Peers Lower
The Shanghai Composite fell 0.7% to close at 3,919 on Thursday, while the Shenzhen Component dropped 1.6% to 13,487, tracking losses across Asian peers as market sentiment turned subdued amid mixed signals from US President Trump on the potential easing of the Middle East conflict. He said the war in Iran was “very close” to completion and expected to meet its objectives in the coming weeks, yet also warned that military operations could escalate even as diplomatic efforts continue. Meanwhile, the People’s Bank of China drained CNY 890 billion through short-term operations in March and absorbed another CNY 250 billion via longer-term tools, reversing months of liquidity support. With growth rebounding and the Iran conflict lifting oil prices, the central bank is taking a more cautious stance that could help China exit record deflation.
