Conversely, sectors such as minor metals, military equipment, semiconductors, AI (Artificial Intelligence), gaming, film and television theaters, and precious metals underperformed.

Chemical stocks surged collectively in the afternoon, with Zhongtai Chemical, Jinnuo Chemical, and China Salt Chemical hitting the daily limit-up, reflecting market reactions to the long-term impacts of the Iran conflict.
