Chinese shares opened higher on Tuesday, led by semiconductor and communications equipment stocks. The Shanghai Composite rose 0.58% at the opening bell, while the Shenzhen Component gained 1.51% and the technology-heavy ChiNext advanced 2.44%. Hong Kong’s Hang Seng Index opened 0.7% higher, following a rally on Wall Street.
Technology leads the mainland advance
The Shanghai Composite opened at about 3,682 points, the Shenzhen Component at 11,313 and the ChiNext at 2,518. Semiconductor makers, electronic component suppliers and communications equipment companies were among the early gainers. Oil and gas shares moved lower as crude prices fell, while banks also lagged at the open.
The mainland gains followed a strong US session on Monday, when the Nasdaq Composite rose 2.7% and the S&P 500 advanced 2.35%. Technology shares also led gains in Japan and South Korea on Tuesday, extending a regional rebound after last week’s sell-off.
Hong Kong trims its opening gain
The Hang Seng opened at 24,621, up 172 points. The Hang Seng Tech Index rose 0.78% at the start of trading, while the Hang Seng China Enterprises Index gained 0.47%. The benchmark later pared its advance to about 0.4%, trading near 24,536 in the morning. Shanghai also gave back part of its opening gain but remained in positive territory.
Exports beat forecasts as imports accelerate
Customs data released on Tuesday showed that China’s exports rose 35.2% in October from a year earlier in US dollar terms, exceeding the 33.5% increase economists had expected. Imports climbed 41.6%, accelerating from 31% growth in September.
The stronger rise in imports narrowed October’s trade surplus to $105.3 billion, down from $133.5 billion in September. Over the first ten months of 2026, however, the surplus reached $1.04 trillion, passing the trillion-dollar mark one month earlier than it did last year. Investors were also awaiting US inflation figures later on Tuesday for clues about the Federal Reserve’s next interest rate decision.
