Mainland and Hong Kong equity markets advanced on Monday, driven by official data showing a sharp acceleration in Chinese export growth.
The government reported that exports jumped 27 percent year-on-year in June, significantly outpacing market expectations and signaling robust external demand for Chinese goods.
The positive trade figures provided immediate relief to investors, helping to extend a recovery that began earlier in the week.
Chinese and Hong Kong stocks had staged a sharp rebound on Friday, erasing losses from a previous session dominated by heavy selling in semiconductor names.
The current rally appears broad-based, suggesting a renewed appetite for risk across the region rather than a narrow sector-specific bounce.
This export surge builds on a recent trend of strengthening economic indicators in China.
