China Stocks Track Asian Peers Higher

2026-05-25 02:13 By Czyrill Jean Coloma 1 min. read

The Shanghai Composite rose 0.3% to 4,124 on Monday, while the Shenzhen Component edged up 0.2% to 15,620, tracking gains across Asian peers as market sentiment was buoyed by signs of de-escalating Middle East tensions.

Senior US officials remarked over the weekend that Washington and Tehran are nearing an agreement to reopen the Strait of Hormuz and restore global oil flows.

However, the deal is on a knife-edge, as Trump refuses to rush and Iran warns the framework could still collapse.

Meanwhile, Beijing has instituted a sweeping crackdown on illicit cross-border trading in a bid to curb capital outflows.

Under these new mandates, authorities have warned of severe actions against prominent brokerages and ordered that all non-compliant accounts be fully liquidated within a two-year transitional framework.

Notable performers included BYD (2.9%), Foxconn Industrial Internet (2.5%), Luxshare Precision Industry (1.3%), and Bank of China (1%).

China Stocks Rebound, Still Finish Week Mixed
The Shanghai Composite rose 0.87% to 4,113 on Friday, while the Shenzhen Component gained 2.3% to 15,597, with both benchmarks rebounding from the previous session, led primarily by strength in the tech sector. Zhongji Innolight climbed 4.49%, Eoptolink Technology soared 7.2%, and Victory Giant Technology surged 13.31%, as investor enthusiasm for the AI sector remained a key driver. However, Chinese authorities have reportedly been requesting additional disclosures from listed companies and exchange-traded funds regarding their exposure to and strategies around AI. The move reflects concerns that recent market enthusiasm may be fueling overheated speculation, as Chinese equities have been on an upward trajectory this year amid strong investor interest in artificial intelligence themes. Despite Friday’s rebound, the Shanghai Composite still fell 0.54% for the week, marking its second consecutive weekly decline, while the Shenzhen Component managed a modest weekly gain of 0.23%.
