The Shanghai Composite recovered sharply on Wednesday, November 4, 2026. The benchmark closed at 3,686.17 points, up 2.16 percent, according to Xinhua. The Shanghai Composite had fallen 0.82 percent to 3,608.10 points in Tuesday's session.
Policy Support Shapes Market Mood
The advance came as investors assessed fresh efforts by Chinese authorities to steady the equity market. Reuters reported that applications to the People's Bank of China's share-repurchase and relending facility had exceeded 200 billion yuan, equivalent to 29.98 billion US dollars. The central bank said it had intensified the implementation of policies supporting share buybacks and increased holdings to maintain stable capital-market operations.
Rebound After Recent Weakness
Wednesday's close marked a substantial recovery from the previous session, when the index reached 3,608.10 points. The move also followed a broader period of pressure on Chinese equities, during which investors questioned whether official support measures would be sufficient to reverse weak sentiment. The latest advance indicates that policy signals provided a near-term boost, although the closing level alone does not establish whether the rebound will persist.
