Shanghai Composite Opens Down 0.60% at 3694.12

The decline is broad rather than concentrated, with all five major mainland gauges opening lower and the STAR 50 — the most growth- and tech-tilted of the group — posting the steepest drop. That ordering suggests the selling is weighted toward higher-beta, sentiment-sensitive names rather than a single sector or index-specific story, though the item gives no catalyst. The scale is modest, so this reads as a soft open rather than a risk event. Whether the STAR 50's underperformance persists through the session, or reverses as early weakness gets absorbed, is the open question.
