China’s Shanghai Composite closes up 0.10% at 3,689.91

The divergence is the story here: Shanghai's near-flat close against a 1.68% gain on the STAR 50 and a 1.19% rise in Shenzhen points to a growth-and-tech tilt rather than broad-based strength. That split matters for anyone reading Chinese equities as a single sentiment gauge, since the main board and the tech-heavy boards are clearly telling different stories on the same day. Whether the STAR 50's outperformance reflects durable appetite for tech exposure or just a one-session rotation is the open question.
