Chinese equity markets opened marginally higher on Monday, supported by selective buying in large-cap stocks despite a cautious regional backdrop. Early gains reflected targeted interest rather than broad-based optimism.
Financials and consumers in focus
Banking and consumer-oriented shares attracted early inflows, as investors positioned for stabilisation in domestic demand and policy continuity. However, volumes remained restrained.
Property sector remains subdued
Real estate-related stocks continued to lag, reflecting persistent concerns around balance sheets, liquidity conditions, and longer-term structural adjustments within the sector.
External factors limit upside
Global uncertainty, including currency volatility elsewhere in Asia and shifting risk sentiment, limited enthusiasm for aggressive positioning at the open.
Measured optimism prevails
China’s market open suggested cautious confidence rather than momentum, with investors maintaining a selective, data-driven approach.
