The Shanghai Composite Index rebounded to levels above 3,600 points, closing with gains ranging from 0.45% to 0.96% on different days. The Shenzhen Component Index and the ChiNext Index also posted moderate increases, with the ChiNext Index reaching its highest levels since June 2015 before experiencing a decline of over 1%. The Hang Seng Index and Hang Seng Tech Index in Hong Kong showed fluctuations, with gains up to 1.55% and declines of up to 1.56% in recent sessions. Semiconductor stocks such as Hua Hong Semiconductor and SMIC saw significant intraday moves, with Hua Hong rising over 6% and SMIC falling over 7% at one point. Market turnover on the Shanghai and Shenzhen stock exchanges exceeded 1 trillion yuan for over 50 consecutive trading days, reaching 1.5 trillion yuan for three days in a row, indicating strong trading activity. The combined market capitalization of the Shanghai and Shenzhen exchanges is approaching 100 trillion yuan ($13.9 trillion), supported by robust fund inflows. Meanwhile, China's Convertible Bond Index extended gains to its highest level in a decade, reflecting strong investor interest.

Additionally, the China Containerized Freight Index and Shanghai Containerized Freight Index declined by 2.6% and 4% week-over-week respectively, indicating some pressure in shipping costs.
