Meanwhile, weakness in finance and technology stocks added pressure to the benchmark, with both sectors pulling back after leading gains in the previous session. Among notable laggards included Tencent Holdings (-2.9%), Semiconductor Manufacturing International Corporation (-3.9%), Kingboard Laminates (-1.8%), Pop Mart International (-1.8%), and China Hongqiao Group (-7.1%). In contrast, Knowledge Atlas and Lenovo rose 1.4% and 4.3%, respectively.
