The Shanghai Composite rose 1.29% to close at 4,068 while the Shenzhen Component gained 2.19% to 14,127 on Tuesday, recovering losses from the previous session as a rebound in metals prices helped stabilize sentiment and triggered dip-buying.

Regional shares also followed Wall Street higher after a surprise expansion in US factory activity, signaling strength for the global economy and corporate profits.

Mining stocks led gains as gold, silver, and other metals rebounded, with Zijin Mining up 6%, CMOC Group rising 4.7%, and Hunan Gold Corp climbing 10%.

Defense and clean energy stocks also outperformed, including Addsino Cop (10%), China Aerospace (6.1%), Goldwin Science & Technology (6%) and Shenzhen Envicool (5.7%).

Meanwhile, Monday’s data showed Chinese manufacturing activity accelerated in January, as firms ramped up production and moved cargoes ahead of the extended Lunar New Year holiday.

China Stocks Rebound on Tech Gains

On the trade front, China has effectively halted exports of certain tungsten products to Japan this year, while rare-earth magnet shipments in May fell to their lowest level since May 2025, when Beijing first implemented its global export-control regime. The restrictions have persisted amid China-Japan diplomatic tensions over comments on Taiwan by Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi last November.
