China’s stock markets edged higher on Tuesday, supported by gains in agriculture, energy and gold-related shares, while technology stocks came under pressure. In Hong Kong, equities declined as escalating tensions in the Middle East weighed on investor sentiment, Reuters reported.
The blue-chip CSI 300 Index rose 0.1% by the lunch break, while the Shanghai Composite gained 0.4%. Both benchmarks have stabilised in recent sessions after a mid-year sell-off erased their gains for the year.
