China, HK stocks end lower as risk appetite sours on renewed Gulf tensions
Jun 10, 2026, 16:36 GMT+8
China and Hong Kong stocks slid to close lower on Wednesday, tracking a broader selloff across Asian markets as escalating tensions in the Gulf curbed investor risk appetite.
** At market close, the Shanghai Composite index 000001 was down 0.4% at 3,993.23 points. China's blue-chip CSI300 index 3399300 slipped 1.1%.
** In Hong Kong, the benchmark Hang Seng Index HSI was down 0.6% at 24,407.96. The Hang Seng Tech index HHSTECH dropped nearly 1%.
** In one of the biggest exchanges in hostilities since a ceasefire in April, Iran's Revolutionary Guards said they carried out attacks against a U.S. base in Jordan and 21 other targets in the Gulf on Wednesday in retaliation for American strikes around the Strait of Hormuz.
** Shares took a snub in Asia, with MSCI's Asia ex-Japan stock index (.MIAPJ0000PUS) trading 2.3% lower and Japan's Nikkei index NI225 down 1.9%.
** Among the biggest losers onshore, the CSI AI Index 9930713 dropped 2.2% and the satellite industry sector index (.CSI931594) lost 3.2% to pare some recent gains.
** Chip shares defied the downtrend on Wednesday, with the CSI Semiconductor Index (.CSI931865) adding 1.6%. Defensive sectors also gained, with the CSI Banks Index up 1.6% and CSI Liquor Index up 1.1%.
** On the data front, China's producer prices rose for a third consecutive month in May to the highest since July 2022 as global AI-related demand provided a boost for some sectors.
** Consumer prices remained elevated but came below the median Reuters forecast.
** "In China, domestic demand remain anaemic. However, global AI investment is supporting external demand and emerging industries, mitigating the risk of a sharp economic slowdown," analysts at KGI said.

Singapore shares end lower after Middle East conflict intensifies; STI down 1.3%
Singapore stocks closed lower on Wednesday (Jun 10).
This came after a wave of new strikes by the US against Iran, which led to retaliatory attacks by Iran on American bases in the Gulf, Reuters reported.
The Straits Times Index (STI) lost 1.3 per cent or 64.4 points to finish at 4,958.85; it fell as much as 1.7 per cent earlier in the day.
Wilmar International : F34 +3.24% led the gainers on the blue-chip barometer, rising 3.2 per cent or S$0.11 to S$3.50.
The worst performer among the STI’s constituents was Thai Beverage : Y92 -3.41%, which sank 3.4 per cent or S$0.015 to S$0.425.
The local banks all ended lower.
DBS : D05 -3.03% fell 3 per cent or S$1.93 to S$61.83, after falling as low as S$61.63 in the first hour of trading. OCBC : O39 -2.39% closed 2.4 per cent or S$0.57 lower at S$23.23, and UOB : U11 -1.3% was down 1.3 per cent or S$0.50 at S$37.88.
Major technology stocks such as AEM : AWX -6.77% in Singapore fell as well, tracking Wall Street’s reversal after two days of gains.
The S&P 500 and Nasdaq indices fell on Tuesday as a rebound in technology shares faded and investors continued rotating out of tech stocks.
Across the broader market, gainers trailed losers 260 to 337, after 1.5 billion securities worth S$2.6 billion changed hands.
Key regional indices were mixed.
Hong Kong’s Hang Seng Index lost 0.6 per cent, Japan’s Nikkei 225 fell 1.9 per cent and South Korea’s Kospi was down 4.5 per cent. Meanwhile, the FTSE Bursa Malaysia KLCI advanced 0.2 per cent.
