A-share market closing review: The ChiNext Index and the STAR 50 Index both hit new highs again, with storage chips and MLCC sectors continuing to surge.

China’s three major A-share indexes all rose collectively today. As of the close, the Shanghai Composite Index was up 0.23%, the Shenzhen Component Index was up 1.82%, the ChiNext Index was up 2.84%, the BSE 50 Index was down 1.41%, and the STAR 50 Index was up 3.87%. Total market turnover was 36,189 billion yuan, an increase of 312 billion yuan from the previous trading day, and more than 4,200 stocks across the market fell.

In terms of sector themes, airport shipping, lab-grown diamonds, components, storage chips, securities, insurance, CPO, PET copper foil, gaming, and optical fiber concept stocks led the gains; precious metals, ST stocks, education, salt lake lithium extraction, oil and gas exploration and services, and software development sectors led the declines. On the trading board, storage chip giant Micron Technology’s latest earnings far exceeded expectations, sparking a surge in the chip sector. More than 10 stocks, including Beijing Junzheng, Demingli, and Shikong Technology, hit daily limit-up; Biwin Storage, Huicheng Co., and Lihexing led the gains.

With the release of hard-tech IPO dividends, broker stocks rose again. Changjiang Securities hit the daily limit up, followed by Caida Securities and Founder Securities moving up with it. The component and supercapacitor sectors strengthened again, driven by price-hike catalysts; stocks such as Fenghua Advanced Technology and Ultrasonic Electronics reached new intraday highs. In addition, airport shipping, CPO, and optical fiber concept stocks all showed strong performance.

On the other hand, overnight international gold prices fell below $4,000 per ounce, dragging down the precious metals sector across the board. Xingye Silver and Tin, Zijin Mining, and Shanjin International led the declines. Several ST stocks also performed poorly, with *ST Shijing and ST Xuelang falling more than 10%.
