Shenzhen Component closes 1.21% lower at 10,876.99 as support disappoints

The Shenzhen Component closed 1.21% lower at 10,876.99 points on Tuesday, November 3, 2026. The decline came as investors reassessed recently announced measures to stabilise Chinese equities and continued to reduce exposure to technology-related shares.

Technology shares lead the retreat

According to Xinhua, computing-power hardware, semiconductor chips, robotics, pharmaceuticals and medical-care stocks recorded notable losses. Insurance, pork and battery shares were among the sectors that gained. Turnover covered by the Shanghai Composite and Shenzhen Component totalled about 1.7 trillion yuan, down from 1.8 trillion yuan on the previous trading day.

The broader growth segment was weaker than the Shenzhen Component. The ChiNext Index fell 2.73% to 2,391.65 points, while the STAR Composite Index declined 4.84% to 1,387.95 points, according to the same report. The uneven performance points to continued pressure on higher-growth and technology-heavy areas rather than a uniform retreat across all sectors.

Policy support fails to restore confidence

Chinese regulators announced measures on November 2 intended to improve market liquidity. As reported by Aju Press, the measures included restarting a swap programme for securities, funds and insurance companies, cutting the relending rate for stock purchases and major shareholder stake increases from 1.25% to 1%, and making the relending facility permanent.

Those steps did not immediately revive risk appetite. RTHK reported that investors viewed the measures as falling short of expectations, while battered technology investors used the previous rebound as an opportunity to sell. The report also said the October decline in Chinese equities had been led by a slump in artificial-intelligence stocks.

Shenzhen remains under observation

Compared with the Shenzhen Component level of 11,138 points cited in the latest earlier report on the index published by Ad-hoc-News on October 29, the index was 2.35% lower at Tuesday's close. The comparison is based on the two reported index levels and does not imply a causal relationship between the earlier report and the subsequent market movement.

For investors, the next focus is whether policy measures can attract sustained demand or merely generate short-lived rebounds. Technology earnings expectations, market liquidity and the rotation into more defensive sectors remain important factors for the Shenzhen Component's further direction.
