Mainland property developers surge, Shimao Group up over 15%.
On September 28, the State Council executive meeting clearly signaled incremental support for stabilizing the real estate sector. The meeting also explicitly stated that a batch of pragmatic and effective incremental policies would be introduced, local government debt carryover limits would be utilized, monetary policy tools would be comprehensively applied and adjusted in a timely manner, and policy measures to stabilize the housing market and boost employment and income would be studied and rolled out. Meanwhile, supporting regulations in first-tier cities have been implemented, further reinforcing the market logic. Previously, Beijing and Shanghai, the two core cities, took the lead in completing the supporting implementation of the "828" new policy, clearly signaling that this round of property reform is not a "one-size-fits-all tightening" but a long-term optimization mechanism with a sufficient transition period that accommodates corporate cash flow stability, thoroughly dispelling market concerns that the new policy would suppress developer operations.
Optical communication sector active, YOFC up over 7%.
