China, HK stocks rise as healthcare, consumer and chip shares gain
Jun 29, 2026, 16:48 GMT+8

China and Hong Kong stocks rose on Monday, led by healthcare, consumer and chip shares, as investors broadened their exposure beyond AI supply-chain names.

** China's blue-chip CSI300 Index 3399300 and the Shanghai Composite Index 000001 closed 1.2% up each. Hong Kong's benchmark Hang Seng HSI was up 1.6%.

** The shift aligns with global markets where investors expanded their positions beyond AI as they took profits from a sharp rally in memory chips this year.

** Onshore consumer staple shares 0000932 rallied 3.4% in their largest gain in five months, while the CSI300 Healthcare Index (.CSI000913) surged 6.3%, its biggest rise since October 2024.

** The tech-focused STAR 50 Index 0000688 jumped 4.6%, led by semiconductor and chip-equipment shares, as investors bet the upcoming market debut of leading Chinese memory-chip maker CXMT would boost local chipmakers.

** Reuters reported after onshore market close that CXMT signed a long-term supply agreement with Tencent Holdings 700 worth more than 20 billion yuan.

** Tech giants listed in Hong Kong HHSTECH, which had underperformed onshore tech names due to a lack of hardware stocks, rebounded from their lowest points since January 2025, rising 3.2%.

** Shares related to China's low-altitude airspace broadly fell on concerns that a small aircraft crash in Beijing last week may trigger tighter control of the space.

** CITIC Offshore Helicopter shares 000099 fell 4%, while Zongsen Power Machinery 001696 slid 7.7%.

** Shares of Shanghai MicroPort MedBot 2252 jumped nearly 8% on a breakthrough in core product installation.

** China's central bank launched overnight reverse repo operations, a move markets interpreted as deepening its control over liquidity conditions.
