Amidst this general weakness, the oil and gas sector stood out, defying the market trend with a notable surge. Stocks such as Tongyuan Petroleum reached their daily trading limits, highlighting the sector's strength. Additionally, the nuclear pollution prevention sector exhibited robust performance, while gold and rare earth permanent magnet concept stocks also gained ground.
