ChiNext Index Rebounds Over 3% as Robotics and Physical AI Stocks Lead Gains

The ChiNext Index rose more than 3%, reversing an early decline of over 3%, according to Wall Street CN. The growth-focused benchmark had dropped over 3% in the morning session before buyers stepped in, highlighting volatile trading conditions. Sector performance showed clear leadership from technology and consumer-related names: robotics and physical AI stocks posted strong gains, alongside liquor and insurance.

Market breadth was broadly positive, with nearly 3,200 individual stocks rising across the Shanghai, Shenzhen and Beijing exchanges. The session's turn-around came after an early sell-off that briefly pushed the index down more than 3%, underscoring sharp intraday volatility. Robotics and physical AI drew renewed interest as investors bet on automation and embodied intelligence themes, while liquor and insurance stocks added support. The advance was broad, signaling improved risk appetite after the morning slump.
