China’s mainland-listed stocks are falling toward a bear market. Bloomberg reports that the shares are on track to enter a technical bear market, while CNBC and the Financial Times report that the market has entered bear territory. CNBC, citing LSEG data, says the CSI 300 index is down about 20% from its June peak after 10 consecutive weekly declines. Bloomberg attributes the slide to fading hopes for substantial stimulus, lackluster earnings and jitters over the global artificial intelligence trade. The Financial Times says the index has shed more than 1,000 points since late June.
