China's stock markets ended mixed on Wednesday, with the Shanghai Composite Index increasing by 0.05% to reach 4,027, marking a one-month high. Conversely, the Shenzhen Component Index fell by 0.97% to 14,498, despite having earlier reached its strongest level since January 2022. Investor sentiment weakened due to uncertainty surrounding renewed talks between the United States and Iran, although discussions are expected to resume soon. Despite these geopolitical tensions, China's economy is anticipated to grow by 4.8% in the first quarter of 2025, a slight improvement from 4.5% growth reported in late 2025. China's proactive measures to strengthen energy security have limited the impact of international uncertainties on its economy. Notable stock performances included gains for Agricultural Bank of China, Kweichow Moutai, and Midea Group, while Eoptolink Technology and Sungrow Power Supply saw declines.
