In a notable upturn, China's stock market saw gains on Wednesday as trade talks between President Donald Trump and China's Xi Jinping showed promising headlines. The CSI300 Index increased by 0.5% and the Shanghai Composite rose 0.4%, reflecting positive investor sentiment.
Attention is now on the anticipated meeting in South Korea, where Trump and Xi will discuss reducing U.S. tariffs on Chinese goods in exchange for China's agreement to curb fentanyl precursor chemical exports. This is set against the backdrop of China unveiling its five-year development plan, which aims to sustain economic growth.
Despite the plan's omission of electric vehicles as a strategic industry, the energy sector still saw a surge, with the CSI New Energy Index climbing over 3%. Additionally, non-ferrous metals outperformed, echoing investor optimism in related stocks like Guochuang Software.
