Chinese Stocks Rise Modestly on Strong GDP Despite Weak AI Sector Sentiment
Chinese stocks rose modestly on Monday, supported by stronger-than-expected third-quarter GDP growth of 4.5% year-on-year and accelerated retail sales in September. The blue-chip CSI300 Index and Shanghai Composite Index saw slight gains, while the tech-focused STAR50 Index declined due to weak sentiment around AI supply chain companies. Traditional sectors like financials, banks, and liquor led gains. Despite recent weekly losses, investors focused on upcoming financial forum discussions and the implications of policy constraints amid economic imbalances.
