The minor metals sector exhibited continued strength, highlighted by East Zirconia reaching its daily price limit, with shares surging to 11.86 yuan, marking a 10.02% increase. Other companies, including Zhongkuang Resources and Haotong Technology, also posted gains. East Zirconia's daily limit achievement could be attributed to factors such as a turnaround from losses to profits and an increase in shareholding by its controlling shareholders.
