Technology stocks presented a varied picture. Meituan advanced 0.4%, while JD.com rose 0.2%. Conversely, industry heavyweights Tencent Holdings and Alibaba Group saw minor declines of 0.3% and 0.1%, respectively. The session's most significant mover was Trip.com Group, whose shares plummeted 14.9% to become the worst-performing blue-chip stock. The sharp decline followed an announcement that China's State Administration for Market Regulation had initiated an antitrust investigation into the company.
The financial sector showed limited direction. Hong Kong Exchanges and Clearing and Ping An Insurance each gained 0.4%, while HSBC Holdings slipped 0.3%.
