China Stocks Surge: A New Chapter in Sino-U.S. Trade Relations?

China's stock market experienced a notable rise on Tuesday, achieving its largest gain in six weeks due to signs of easing trade tensions with the U.S. and encouraging corporate earnings reports.

The Shanghai Composite Index climbed 1.4%, closing at 3,916.33, while the blue-chip CSI300 index increased by 1.5%. In Hong Kong, the Hang Seng Index saw a 0.7% rise, buoyed by gains in the tech sector.

Optimism about a U.S.-China trade agreement has bolstered investor confidence, with analysts predicting continued growth in China's markets, particularly in technology and semiconductor stocks, as evidenced by the AI sector's 4.6% jump.
