The Shanghai Composite fell 0.4% to 3,995 on Wednesday, while the Shenzhen Component dropped 1.4% to 15,063, reversing the previous session's gains as investors weighed the inflationary impact of surging global energy prices stemming from prolonged tensions in the Middle East. Annual producer prices climbed to 3.9% in May 2026 from 2.8% in the previous month.
It marked the highest reading since July 2022, as higher commodity and energy costs were amplified by supply disruptions linked to the conflict.
Meanwhile, China's annual consumer inflation rate held steady at 1.2% in May, slightly below market expectations of 1.3%, while core CPI also came in below forecasts, edging down to 1.1% from 1.2% in April.
Among the biggest decliners were PetroChina (-5.6%), China Shenhua Energy (-3.5%), CATL (-1.1%), Zhongji Innolight (-1.9%), and BYD (-1.4%).
