Investor sentiment remained cautious as tensions in the Middle East increased after Iran launched ballistic missiles toward US positions. However, concerns eased after US Central Command said all the missiles were intercepted.

Technology stocks were mixed during the session. Companies such as Cambricon Technologies, Zhongji Innolight, and Eoptolink Technology posted solid gains, supporting the broader market. On the other hand, shares of SMIC, Hygon Information Technology, and Victory Giant Technology continued to decline as investors remained worried about high valuations and AI-related spending.

Meanwhile, heavyweight financial and energy stocks, including PetroChina, Bank of China, and China Life Insurance, also ended lower, limiting the market's overall gains.
