The Shangai Composite Index Closes 3.64% Lower

The Shanghai Composite Index edged up 0.2% to around 3,820 on Tuesday, pausing a three-day losing streak, as a sharp pullback in global oil prices and signs of delayed military escalation in the Middle East lifted investor sentiment. The rebound followed a temporary postponement of US action against Iran, easing fears of a severe energy supply shock and helping cool inflation concerns. Lower bond yields also reduced expectations for aggressive interest rate hikes, providing further support to equities. Gains were aided by a broader regional recovery, though uncertainty surrounding the Strait of Hormuz and ongoing geopolitical risks capped upside. Leading gains in various sector included Zijin Mining (+1.44%), Wuxi AppTec (+4.54%), Meili Cloud Computing (+6.96%), and CNPC Capital Company (+4.51%).

The Shangai Composite Index decreased -144 points or 3.64 percent on Monday to close at 3813 points. The decline was led by Sanan Optoelectron (-9.98%), Guangzhou Baiy (-8.00%) and China Eastern Airlin (-6.70%).

SHANGHAI decreased to 3867.00 Index Points, the lowest since December 2025. Over the past 4 weeks, Shanghai Stock Exchange Composite Index lost 6.05%, and in the last 12 months, it increased 14.78%.
