Chinese shares climbed on their return from a weeklong holiday, with sentiment boosted by Friday’s jump in Hong-Kong listed names and easing concerns about regulatory headwinds for the nation’s battered tech sector.
The CSI 300 Index ended up 1.5% on Monday after rising as much as 2.4%. While that marked the benchmark’s best post-Lunar New Year holiday performance since 2019, its gains trailed the rally seen in Hong Kong markets when they reopened on Friday.
