The price of new commercial housing in Shanghai in August was + 0.6% (previous value + 0.4%), and + 4.5% compared with the same period last year (previous value + 4.2%). The price of new commercial housing in Guangzhou in August was + 0.9% (previous value + 0.8%), year-on-year + 1.6% (previous value + 1.0%). The price of new commercial housing in Shenzhen in August was + 0.5% (previous value + 0.6%), compared with the same period last year (+ 6.2%) (previous value + 5.9%).

In terms of second-hand housing prices, second-hand housing prices in Beijing in August were + 0.7% month-on-month (previous value unchanged), compared with + 3.6% year-on-year (previous value + 2.5%). Shanghai second-hand housing prices in August + 0.8% (previous value + 0.5%), year-on-year + 4.1% (previous value + 3.3%). Guangzhou second-hand housing prices in August + 1.7% (previous value + 1.6%), year-on-year + 3.9% (previous value + 2.2%).

Kong Peng, chief statistician of the City Department of the National Bureau of Statistics, pointed out that in August, all localities resolutely implemented the arrangements of the CPC Central Committee and the State Council, adhering to the positioning that houses are used for living, not for speculation, and earnestly implemented the main responsibility of the city. timely targeted measures have been taken to safely implement the long-term mechanism of real estate, and the real estate market in 70 large and medium-sized cities has generally operated smoothly and prices have risen slightly.

I. the month-on-month increase in the sales price of new commercial housing in all cities has expanded slightly, while that of second-hand housing in second-tier cities has dropped from the previous month.

In August, according to preliminary estimates, the sales prices of newly built commercial housing in four first-tier cities rose 0.6% from the previous month, an increase of 0.1 percentage points over the previous month. Among them, Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen rose 0.6%, 0.6%, 0.9% and 0.5% respectively. The price of second-hand housing sales rose 1.0% from the previous month, an increase of 0.3 percentage points over the previous month. Among them, Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen rose 0.7%, 0.8%, 1.7% and 1.1% respectively. The sales price of new commercial housing in 31 second-tier cities rose 0.6% from the previous month, an increase of 0.1% over the previous month, while the price of second-hand housing rose 0.4% from the previous month, down 0.1% from the previous month. The sales prices of new commercial housing and second-hand housing in 35 third-tier cities rose 1.0% and 0.6% respectively from the previous month, an increase of 0.2 and 0.1 percentage points respectively over the previous month.

Second, the year-on-year increase in the prices of new commercial housing and second-hand housing in first-tier cities has expanded, while the year-on-year increase in second-and third-tier cities may be the same as that of last month.

In August, according to preliminary estimates, the sales prices of newly built commercial housing and second-hand housing in first-tier cities rose 3.9% and 6.9% respectively over the same period last year, an increase of 0.3 and 1.2 percentage points respectively over the previous month. The sales price of new commercial housing in second-tier cities rose 5.0 per cent year-on-year, down 0.1 percentage points from the previous month, while the sales price of second-hand housing rose 2.0 per cent year-on-year, the same rate as the previous month. The year-on-year increases in the prices of new commercial housing and second-hand housing in second-tier cities have been the same or declined for 16 months in a row. Sales prices of newly built commercial housing and second-hand housing in third-tier cities rose 4.5 per cent and 1.8 per cent respectively from a year earlier, the same increase as last month and the same or falling for 17 consecutive months.

Koryx Copper Completes Haib PFS Drilling, Targets Updated Resource and PFS by Year-End
Koryx Copper has completed its infill and expansion drilling programme at the wholly owned Haib Copper Project in southern Namibia, advancing the project toward an updated Mineral Resource Estimate (MRE) and Pre-Feasibility Study (PFS) targeted for publication before the end of 2026.​ The company reported assay results from a further 18 drill holes totalling 7,074 metres. Among the latest results, hole HM199 returned 438 metres grading 0.40% copper equivalent (CuEq), including 224 metres at 0.51% CuEq. Hole HM193 returned 681 metres at 0.34% CuEq, including 22 metres at 0.71% CuEq and 169 metres at 0.40% CuEq.​ Koryx said the results continued to demonstrate wide mineralised intercepts across the Haib deposit, together with higher-grade zones closer to surface in some areas. The company said the results broadly correlate with its existing geological model, while the completed drilling programme will feed into geological modelling and estimation work for the updated resource estimate and PFS.​ Haib is a large disseminated porphyry copper-molybdenum-gold deposit. Koryx currently envisages developing the project as a large-scale open-pit operation using conventional sulphide milling and flotation to produce copper and molybdenum concentrates.​ The latest drilling follows Koryx's March 2026 Mineral Resource Estimate, which reported 744 million mt of Indicated material grading 0.28% copper, containing approximately 2.09 million mt of copper, and 579 million mt of Inferred material grading 0.24% copper, containing approximately 1.39 million mt of copper, using a 0.15% copper cut-off. Koryx said the updated MRE and PFS remain on track for publication before the end of 2026.​ Completion of the PFS drilling programme marks another step in Koryx Copper's advancement of Haib toward a potential large-scale copper development. The latest drilling continues to show broad mineralised intervals, while the upcoming updated resource estimate will provide greater clarity on whether recent infill and expansion drilling has materially changed the project's resource base. Attention will now turn to the updated MRE and PFS expected before year-end, which should provide further detail on the proposed mine configuration, processing strategy, production profile and project economics.
