China’s three main stock indexes closed lower, with the ChiNext Index falling 1.13%, the Shenzhen Component losing 0.68% and the Shanghai Composite slipping 0.16%. Combined turnover on the Shanghai and Shenzhen exchanges totaled CNY 2.55 trillion, down CNY 67.2 billion from the previous session. Market breadth was weak, with more than 4,000 stocks declining, although semiconductor materials, semiconductor equipment, nonferrous metals and chemicals outperformed. The session pointed to broad-based pressure across equities even as investors continued to show selective interest in parts of the chip supply chain and cyclical materials segments.
