China Stocks Rally for Ninth Session

2025-12-29 03:21 By Joshua Ferrer 1 min. read

The Shanghai Composite rose 0.4% to around 3,980 on Monday, extending its winning streak to nine sessions, the longest since April, while the Shenzhen Component gained 0.3% to a two-month high of 13,640, after Beijing announced plans to expand fiscal spending to boost consumption and investment and a bullish global equities mood lifted sentiment in the final trading week of the year.

China’s Ministry of Finance said the 2026 focus will be on strengthening the domestic market through higher consumer demand and targeted investment in public services, following a two-day national fiscal work conference.

Investor confidence was further supported by a year-end “Santa Claus rally,” with global and US equities trading near record highs, a pattern that often sets the tone for equity performance in the new year.

Notable performers included Cambricon Technologies (+7.2%), Foxconn Industrial (+3.7%), PetroChina (+2.2%), China Construction Bank (+1.2%), and China Shenhua Energy (+0.9%).

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. Notable declines were posted by Contemporary Amperex Technology (-1.1%), Zhongji Innolight (-3.3%), Sungrow Power Supply (-5.4%), and Foxconn (-2.5%).
