The three major A-share indices all rose collectively in the morning session. By midday, the Shanghai Composite Index increased by 0.12%, the Shenzhen Component Index rose by 0.81%, the ChiNext Index gained 1.18%, and the Beijing Securities 50 Index was up by 0.49%. The combined half-day trading volume of the Shanghai, Shenzhen, and Beijing markets reached 1.3401 trillion yuan, an increase of 30.5 billion yuan compared to the previous day. Over 2,700 stocks in the entire market advanced.

In terms of sectors and themes, small metals, power grid equipment, liquid-cooled servers, CPO, supercapacitors, high-speed copper cable connections, semiconductors, cultivated diamonds, rare earth permanent magnets, and computing power leasing led the gains; while film and television cinemas, short dramas and gaming, tourism and hotels, retail, banking, and food processing manufacturing sectors declined the most.

In the market, strong demand for AI drove collective strength in hardware stocks such as CPO, copper cables, and capacitors, with several stocks like Tianfu Communication and Taichen Optoelectronics reaching new historical highs. Stocks related to computing power leasing also performed well, with UCloud Technology hitting the 20% daily limit after previously raising its product and service prices. The small metals sector remained active, with Xianglu Tungsten and Zhangyuan Tungsten hitting the daily limit, as institutions are optimistic about the rising trend of key mineral resource prices. Overall, AI hardware stocks performed exceptionally well.

On the other hand, the film and television cinema, short dramas, and gaming sectors continued to decline, with Huanrui Century, Hengdian Film & TV, and Bona Film Group hitting the daily limit down. Retail and food stocks performed poorly, with Haixin Food and Dongbai Group experiencing the largest declines.
