Midday Market Wrap-Up: The morning trading session witnessed a market that initially ascended before descending. The three key indices displayed a divergence in their performance trends, with the Shanghai Composite Index managing to achieve yet another new stage high. The combined trading volume on the Shanghai and Shenzhen stock exchanges soared to 1.63 trillion yuan during the morning session, marking a substantial increase of 151.1 billion yuan compared to the previous day. Despite this, over 3,000 stocks experienced a downturn, and the market's hotspots were rather dispersed. Notably, non-ferrous metal concept stocks staged a collective rally, while the chip and real estate sectors also demonstrated heightened activity. Battery concept stocks, however, presented a mixed picture, with Lead Intelligent Equipment's stock price taking a significant hit. Analyzing the performance by sectors, non-ferrous metals, real estate, and memory chips emerged as the frontrunners in terms of gains, whereas batteries, white wine, and gaming stocks were at the forefront of the declines. Specifically, the Shanghai Composite Index posted a 0.24% gain, the Shenzhen Component Index edged up by 0.15%, and the ChiNext Index suffered a 0.52% loss.
