- The Shenzhen Component closed 1.19% higher at 11,471.09 points on Thursday, November 5.
- Photovoltaic, precious-metals and computing-power-leasing shares led the advance, while coal, banking and brokerage stocks declined.
- Policy support remained a market backdrop, although investors still require stronger growth, earnings and confidence for a durable recovery.
The Shenzhen Component finished Thursday, November 5, 1.19% higher at 11,471.09 points. The close extended the index's rebound after a 4.22% gain on Wednesday, when it ended at 11,335.69 points, according to Xinhua and China Daily.
Growth Sectors Lead the Advance
Trading was marked by a recovery from an initially weaker start. Xinhua reported that photovoltaic, precious-metals and computing-power-leasing sectors led the gains, while coal, banking and brokerage stocks recorded notable losses. Turnover across the stocks covered by the Shanghai Composite and Shenzhen Component totaled about 2.12 trillion yuan, up from 2.04 trillion yuan on the previous trading day.
The sector pattern points to continued investor preference for growth and policy-sensitive themes rather than a broad-based advance across all parts of the market. China Daily also reported that semiconductor and telecommunications-equipment stocks led the preceding session, while liquor, dairy, financial and coal shares weakened.
Policy Support Remains in Focus
Beijing's support measures remained an important backdrop for the rebound. The People's Bank of China lowered the relending rate for share buybacks and additional shareholdings by 25 basis points to 1% on Wednesday and said it would meet banks' demand for funds, China Daily reported. Banks had submitted applications for more than 200 billion yuan in quota since Monday, when regulators said the facility would become a standing arrangement rather than a temporary program.
That support has helped improve risk appetite, but it does not by itself establish a lasting trend. The market's next test is whether stronger economic activity, corporate earnings and investor confidence can broaden the advance beyond selected technology, solar and precious-metals groups. This is an assessment of market conditions, not a recommendation to buy or sell.
What Investors Should Watch
For the Shenzhen Component, the immediate reference point is the strong two-session recovery following the late-October sell-off and the weak close on November 3. Investors may therefore focus on whether leadership from growth sectors persists while the index consolidates its rebound, and whether declining defensive sectors begin to participate.
