2026-01-27 07:23 By Jam Kaimo Samonte 1 min. read

The Shanghai Composite rose 0.18% to close at 4,140, while the Shenzhen Component gained 0.09% to 14,330 on Tuesday, recovering some of the previous session’s losses as official data pointed to improved profitability across China’s economy.

Industrial profits increased 0.6% year-on-year in 2025, marking the first positive reading since 2021, supported by improving downstream profit margins.

Gains were led by private and foreign-invested companies, while state-owned firms remained under pressure.

Separately, China’s central bank pledged on Monday to promote deeper financial market connectivity between the mainland and Hong Kong as part of broader efforts to bolster the city’s role as an international financial center.

Among individual stocks, notable gains were recorded by Zijin Mining (2.8%), Zhongji Innolight (4.4%), BlueFocus Intelligent (7%), Eoptolink Technology (2.7%) and Foxconn Industrial (2.9%).

Chinese Stocks Post Weekly Gains
The Shanghai Composite Index fell 0.33% to close at 4,080 on Friday, while the Shenzhen Component Index dropped 0.69% to 14,940, as fading hopes for a swift resolution to Middle East tensions weighed on sentiment. President Trump’s reported order authorising naval forces to “shoot and kill” vessels allegedly laying mines in the Strait of Hormuz pushed oil prices higher again, stoking global inflation concerns. Chinese exporters are seen raising prices as several consumer goods posted sharp annual increases in March. Investor sentiment was further dampened by White House accusations that China engaged in large-scale intellectual property theft from US AI labs, adding friction ahead of a planned leaders’ summit next month. In corporate news, DeepSeek released a preview of its highly anticipated V4 model. Meanwhile, Eoptolink Technology slumped 11.67% despite solid Q1 earnings results. Despite Friday’s losses, the Shanghai Composite still rose 0.7%, and the Shenzhen Component added 0.37%.
