(MT Newswires) -- Chinese shares rebounded on Friday as investor sentiment improved amid faster inflation in December 2025.
The Shanghai Composite Index, the main gauge of Chinese stocks, rose 0.9% to 4,120.43. The Shenzhen Component Index jumped 1.2% to 14,120.15.
China's consumer price index rose 0.8% year over year in December 2025. This was faster than the 0.7% increase the previous month and was in line with analysts' forecast in a Reuters poll.
The rise was mainly driven by a 1.1% increase in food prices, with fresh vegetables and beef growing 18.2% and 6.9%, respectively. This was partly offset by drops in the prices of pork and eggs, which respectively fell 14.6% and 12.7%.
Core inflation, which excludes volatile prices of food and fuel, rose 1.2% year-on-year in December 2025.
In company news, Jiangsu HSC New Energy Materials plans to apply for a secondary listing on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange. Shares of the lithium ion battery electrolyte additives manufacturer closed 3% lower Friday.
