China’s stock market faced a significant decline on Tuesday, even as broader Asia-Pacific markets experienced gains. This downturn occurred in the wake of record highs on Wall Street, where the Dow Jones Industrial Average and the S&P 500 reached new peaks.
The CSI 300 index in mainland China dropped 2.66%, closing at 3,855.99. Meanwhile, Hong Kong’s Hang Seng index fell by 3.67%, ending at 20,318.79. These declines followed China’s release of disappointing September trade data, with exports rising by 2.4% and imports by 0.3%, both figures falling short of expectations.
