China Stocks Rise After Inflation Data

2026-11-09 02:00 By Czyrill Jean Coloma 1 min. read

The Shanghai Composite rose 0.3% to 3,658 on Monday, while the Shenzhen Component added 0.9% to 11,272, extending gains from the previous week as investors assessed mixed inflation data.

China’s annual consumer inflation rate eased to 0.7% in October 2026 from September’s three-month high of 0.9%, below the expected 0.8% and marking its lowest level since June.

In contrast, producer prices rose to over four-year high of 5.7% from 5% in September and above the forecasted 5.3%, as higher commodity and energy prices continued to push up industrial costs.

This growing divergence underscores persistent upstream cost pressures alongside sluggish domestic demand, indicating that higher industrial inputs have yet to pass through to consumers.

Investors now await trade data due on Tuesday for further clues about the strength of external demand.

Cambricon Technologies (3%), WuXi AppTec Co. (2.1%), Luxshare Precision Industry (2.1%), and Weichai Power (3%) were among the top performers.

China Stocks Retreat as Tech Rout Intensifies
The Shanghai Composite slipped 1.10% to close at 3,649.2 on Friday, while the Shenzhen Component slid 2.57% to 11,175.8, with both indexes snapping a two-session winning streak and tracking losses across Asian markets, weighed down by a significant selloff in the technology sector. While investors initially anticipated that a Democratic sweep of the US Congress would accelerate efforts to end the Iran war, those geopolitical expectations were overshadowed by growing concerns over potential regulatory headwinds for the AI and data center industries, which could cloud the funding outlook for data infrastructure. Eoptolink Technology and Zhongji Innolight cratered 7.28% and 9.19%, respectively, while Cambricon Technologies dropped 4.98% and Hygon Information Technology lost 1.71%. Despite Friday’s sharp retreat, the Shanghai Composite gained 1.39% for the week, while the Shenzhen Component climbed 3.16%, with both indexes ending a six-week losing streak.
