The Shanghai Composite rose 0.39% to close at 4,163 on Friday, with the benchmark index ending both the week and month higher as investors awaited next week’s annual parliamentary meeting, where policymakers are expected to set economic targets and outline policy plans.
China’s annual “Two Sessions” convenes from March 4 to around March 11, during which the government is also expected to release its 15th Five-Year Plan detailing policy objectives for 2026–2030.
Among individual stocks, notable gains were recorded by Beijing Teamsun (6.1%), Inner Mongolia Baotou (8.7%), and China Northern Rare Earth (5.6%).
Meanwhile, tech shares followed their US counterparts lower after a muted reaction to strong earnings from Nvidia, with sharp losses for Eoptolink Technology (-6.8%), Zhongji Innolight (-6.7%), and Victory Giant (-3.6%).
