The divergence is the story: a broad retreat leaving more than 4,500 decliners, yet banking names at record highs, points to defensive positioning rather than outright risk-off. Sub-1.7 trillion turnover suggests conviction is thin on both sides, with the small-cap Beijing 50 taking the sharpest hit. Whether that rotation into large financials persists, or the weak breadth eventually drags the majors, is the open question.
