An Aug. 31 flash update by BlockBeats said China's three major A-share indices started the morning lower and then moved in a choppy recovery before slipping again near the close of the morning session. The data reflect the midday close, not full-day results. By the midday settlement, the Shanghai Composite Index was down 0.2%, the Shenzhen Component Index was down 1% and the ChiNext Index was down 1.29%. AI-corpus names oscillated higher during the session, according to the same update. For the half-day period, combined turnover on the Shanghai and Shenzhen exchanges came in at roughly 1.31 trillion yuan. That was about 112.1 billion yuan less than the comparable half-day figure in the previous trading session. The update gave the index levels, the sector's relative strength and the turnover figures, and did not include a full list of sector moves. BlockBeats' flash note did not explain the reason for the retreat or offer any outlook for the afternoon.
