Why It Matters
Microsoft and other international technology companies have called on the U.S. government to stop its import restriction policy on new models of optical transceivers from China.
China News Service, Beijing, November 11 (Reporter Chen Kangliang) China's A-shares surged in volume on Wednesday, the 11th, and all major stock indexes turned red; among them, the GEM index closed up more than 3%.
As of the close of the day, the Shanghai Composite Index reported 3,680 points, an increase of 0.46%; the Shenzhen Component Index reported 11,389 points, an increase of 1.32%; the GEM Index reported 2,572 points, an increase of 3.11%. The total transaction volume of the Shanghai and Shenzhen stock exchanges was approximately 1,676.3 billion yuan, which was approximately 171.5 billion yuan higher than the previous trading day.
Si Donghai, an investment consultant at Shaanxi Jufeng Investment Information Co., Ltd., said that the major A-share stock indexes generally showed a trend of opening lower and moving higher that day. Sectors such as optical communication modules saw significant gains in the afternoon, driving the GEM index higher, and the Shanghai Stock Exchange Index also rose steadily, driven by technology stocks. Technology stocks strengthened on the day, mainly due to a marginal easing of market concerns about trade restrictions. Recently, many international technology companies such as Microsoft have called on the U.S. government to stop promoting import restrictions on new models of Chinese optical transceivers. The market interpreted this signal as an important positive sentiment for optical modules and other sectors. The external uncertainties that had previously suppressed sector valuations for a long time showed obvious signs of easing.
On the news, according to media reports, Microsoft and other companies have been lobbying the Trump administration, hoping that it will abandon its plan to ban the import of new models of optical transceivers from China. This type of equipment allows data to be transmitted within the data center through fiber optic cables at the speed of light and is a key component of artificial intelligence (AI) data centers. The above-mentioned ban may further slow down the construction of data centers, thereby irreparably weakening the United States' advantage in the AI race.
In terms of sectors, according to statistics from the financial data service provider Oriental Fortune, the A-share CPO concept, optical communication module, and optical fiber concept sectors rose by 5.83%, 5.33%, and 4.71% respectively that day, ranking among the top gainers.
Open Questions
- Will the U.S. government officially waive import restrictions on optical transceivers?
