The recent rally in Chinese stocks has come to a halt after gaining nearly 30% from September lows. Shares of e-commerce giants Alibaba and JD.com fell by 4.4% and 7.9%, respectively, while electric vehicle makers NIO and BYD dropped 7.4% and 6.4%. Game developer Tencent’s shares also declined by 0.8%. This follows the implementation of stimulus measures by China’s government and central bank to boost its economy. Some analysts believe these measures are insufficient, while others see it as the start of an even bigger rally. The Hang Seng Index in Hong Kong ended Thursday’s trading session with a 1.5% loss, ending a 13-day winning streak. The Shanghai Composite index remained closed for the Golden Week holiday.
