Driven by progress in the China-US economic and trade negotiations, rare earth concept stocks surged strongly on Wednesday. Both sides formulated an implementation framework for fulfilling the consensus reached in the previous round of talks in Geneva. The US negotiators expressed "absolute confidence" in resolving differences over the export of rare earth minerals and magnets. Influenced by the positive news, the A-share market opened higher in the morning session, with gains narrowing somewhat before noon. The Shanghai Composite Index rose by 0.54%, the Shenzhen Component Index increased by 0.89%, and the ChiNext Index climbed by 1.29%. On the futures market, sectors such as non-ferrous metals, automobiles, and non-banking finance took turns to rally, with the rare earth permanent magnets concept standing out particularly. Both the rare earth permanent magnets index and the rare earth index ranked among the top gainers. In the Hong Kong stock market, rare earth concept stocks also performed strongly, with China Rare Earth Holdings Limited surging over 14% during the trading session. Among individual stocks, Zhongke Magnetic Industry hit the daily limit of 20%, while Beikuang Technology and Ningbo Yunsheng hit the daily limit of 10%. Multiple stocks, including INST, Earth-Panda, Galaxy Magnets, and Longci Technology, saw gains exceeding 10%. Larger-cap stocks such as China Northern Rare Earth, Bao Gang United Steel, and China Rare Earth also delivered notable performances.
