Chinese stock markets saw light trading ahead of the National Day holiday, with the total turnover of the Shanghai and Shenzhen markets falling to 1.41 trillion yuan on Tuesday, the lowest level since July 2025. Despite the People's Bank of China cutting the Pledged Supplementary Lending (PSL) rate and introducing other credit and mortgage support measures on Tuesday, market sentiment remained cautious. Hong Kong and mainland Chinese stocks saw slight gains on Wednesday, while Chinese blue-chip stocks continued to hover near a one-year low.
