A-Shares Close Higher; Over 3,700 Stocks Rise, Robot Concept Surges
China’s A-share market closed with more than 3,700 stocks advancing, while the BSE 50 Index gained 3.88%. The robot-concept sector led the rally after reports said OpenAI is pushing forward with humanoid-robot research. Changying Precision hit the 20% daily limit, and more than ten related stocks, including Zhejiang Rongtai, Rockchip and Jinghua New Material, also locked limit-up. Nvidia’s GTC conference, which focused on physical AI, lifted AI-glasses shares: Hengxuan Technology rose 20%, while Longqi Technology and Broadcom Integrated also gained. Large financial stocks broadly fell, weighing on the main indexes. Market breadth was strong, with advancers far outnumbering decliners. The session signaled a rotation into AI hardware and embodied-intelligence themes, even as the main indexes struggled for direction. The divergence highlighted investors’ preference for growth stories over defensive financials, with profit-taking weighing on banking and insurance names.
