Concurrently, the market size of bond ETFs surpassed the 250 billion yuan mark, signaling a growing appetite for fixed-income products. In summary, the A-share market experienced notable volatility during the post-holiday trading week, characterized by distinct performance differentiation across various industry sectors.
