TREE NEWS reports: The ChiNext Index fell more than 2% in morning trading, with over 4,800 stocks across the market declining and trading in several broad-based ETFs picking up again. Spot gold briefly dropped below the $4,000/oz mark. Japan’s key inflation gauge rose above the central bank’s 2% target, supporting a rate hike this year, while margin balances in Shanghai and Shenzhen fell by 23.295 billion yuan the previous day.
ChiNext Falls 2% at Midday as Over 4,800 Stocks Decline; Gold Dips Below $4,000
The breadth of the selloff — more than 4,800 decliners alongside heavier broad-based ETF turnover — points to a market-wide de-risking rather than a sector-specific story, and the drop in margin balances suggests leverage is being trimmed rather than added. Gold slipping below $4,000 while Japanese inflation supports a rate hike this year hints at a common thread: tightening expectations pressuring both risk assets and the metal that had benefited from easing bets. Whether margin balances keep unwinding and gold holds its footing are the open questions.
