China Stocks Gain for Second Session

2026-02-25 02:32 By Jam Kaimo Samonte 1 min. read

Mainland Chinese equities rose for a second straight session on Wednesday, with the Shanghai Composite climbing 0.72% to close at 4,147 and the Shenzhen Component gaining 1.29% to 14,476.

The rally tracked a tech-driven rebound on Wall Street amid easing concerns over potential artificial intelligence disruptions.

Sentiment was supported after Anthropic announced plans to form partnerships, raising expectations that its Claude chatbot technology will integrate with, rather than replace, existing business models.

Investors also weighed the impact of the US Supreme Court decision striking down Trump’s sweeping reciprocal tariffs.

Despite Trump’s threat to raise global levies from 10% to 15% in response, China is still expected to face lower average tariffs on its exports.

Technology and AI-related stocks led the advance, with notable gains from Huagong Tech (+4.5%), Victory Giant (+9.3%), Eoptolink Technology (+2.7%), Zhongji Innolight (+2.2%), and Foxconn Industrial (+3.6%).
