Chinese Shares Jump on Major Tech IPO Optimism; Jiadeli Electronics Material Surges 710%

By

Chinese shares jumped on Friday, as sentiment was fueled by optimism stemming from planned initial public offerings of major technology companies and the softer stance of China's state planner on foreign investments into the local tech sector.

The Shanghai Composite Index, the main gauge of Chinese stocks, rose 0.9% to 4,112.90. The Shenzhen Component Index jumped 2.3% to 15,597.30.

Investors are snapping up tech stocks as optimism surrounding artificial intelligence surged ahead of massive IPOs from SpaceX, OpenAI and Anthropic.

Also, China's National Development and Reform Commission said it had never instructed Chinese technology companies to refuse foreign investment, adding that foreign investment is welcome but needs to comply with domestic laws and regulations.

In company news, Quanzhou Jiadeli Electronics Material (SHA:603435) shares closed at 127.68 yuan apiece at the end of their first day of trading on the Shanghai bourse. This marked a 710% jump from the electrical film manufacturer's IPO price of 15.76 yuan per share.
