China Tech Stocks Plunge as Nasdaq Golden Dragon Index Drops 5% Amid Global Market Rout
The Nasdaq Golden Dragon China Index experienced a significant decline, closing down 5.12% on Monday, driven by widespread instability in global markets. This downturn was primarily triggered by the market reaction to US President Donald Trump’s aggressive new tariff proposals, which have caused a broad sell-off across international equities. Over the past three trading days, more than $9.5 trillion has been wiped from global market values. Chinese technology companies were among the most severely affected sectors. Major firms saw substantial losses, with Alibaba dropping over 9%, XPeng falling more than 8%, and both Li Auto and NetEase sliding over 6%. Additionally, JD.com and Bilibili lost more than 5%, while Baidu and iQiyi recorded declines exceeding 3%. In an effort to counteract the negative momentum and stabilize domestic investor sentiment, China’s state-owned Central Huijin Investment announced post-market that it had increased its holdings in exchange-traded funds (ETFs). The entity also stated its intention to continue purchasing in the near term, signaling a strategic move to support the financial markets during this period of heightened volatility and external economic pressure.
