The Shanghai Composite rose 0.5% to above 4,030 while the Shenzhen Component gained 0.8% to 13,935 on Tuesday, recouping some losses from the previous session as easing volatility in metals markets helped stabilize sentiment and triggered dip-buying. Regional shares also followed Wall Street higher after a surprise expansion in US factory activity, signaling strength for the global economy and corporate profits. Mining stocks led gains as gold, silver, and other metals rebounded, with Zijin Mining up 2.2%, CMOC Group rising 1.7%, and Hunan Gold Corp climbing 4.8%. Technology and AI-related names also bounced back from Monday’s slump, including Suzhou TFC Optical (6.9%), Shenzhen Sunway (7.9%), and Montage Technology (1.5%). Meanwhile, Monday’s data showed Chinese manufacturing activity accelerated in January, as firms ramped up production and moved cargoes ahead of the extended Lunar New Year holiday.
