(SMIC), due on Thursday, which could offer fresh insight into chip demand.

Zhongji Innolight (1.7%), Eoptolink Technology (2.2%), NAURA Technology (1.6%), and Victory Giant Technology (1.4%) were among the sector's top gainers.

Risk appetite was also supported by easing Middle East tensions after Pakistan’s defense minister said that the US and Iran were "close to some sort of arrangement" regarding the Strait of Hormuz, while separate reports suggested talks between Iran and Oman had reached an advanced stage.

China Stocks Close Lower
The Shanghai Composite fell 0.82% to close at 3,934.1 on Tuesday, while the Shenzhen Component lost 0.40% to 14,259.4, as investor sentiment weakened amid fading optimism over a near-term easing of US-Iran tensions. Market caution intensified after President Trump demanded compensation from Iran for conflict victims, while Tehran sought reparations for recent US and Israeli strikes. The standoff dimmed hopes for a swift reopening of the Strait of Hormuz, sustaining concerns about shipping disruptions and global risk sentiment. On the monetary policy front, the People’s Bank of China conducted no seven-day reverse repos on Tuesday, marking its first pause in short-term liquidity injections since June. AI-related stocks led losses, including NAURA Technology (-1.83%), Victory Giant Technology (-4.01%), Cambricon Technologies (-2.97%), and Hygon Information Technology (-1.18%), as investors rotated into defensive sectors amid volatility in the AI space.
