Shanghai Stocks Finish Flat
The Shanghai Composite closed flat around 3,942 on Thursday, while the Shenzhen Component enged up 0.1% to 13,625.1, following two sessions of losses as fresh PMI data reinforced signs of improving economic momentum in China. A private survey showed the Composite PMI climbed to 52.1 in August from 50.8, driven by stronger growth in both the services sector (51.4 vs 50.4) and manufacturing (51.5 vs 50.9). The figures followed official data showing the Composite PMI edging up to 49.5 from 49.3, with manufacturing activity improving to 49.8 from 49.2 while the non-manufacturing gauge held steady at 49. However, caution lingered amid persistent concerns over China’s weak domestic demand.

In contrast, banking stocks came under pressure, particularly Industrial and Commercial Bank of China (-1.46%), Agricultural Bank of China (-2.41%), and China Construction Bank (-1.71%).
