China’s metal exports, particularly aluminum, are benefiting from the Middle East conflict, which has disrupted regional supply and boosted demand for clean-tech materials amid higher fossil fuel prices. Shipments of aluminum products from China are expected to reach record levels this year, according to the China Nonferrous Metals Industry Association. Copper demand is also supported by clean-energy applications. The war involving the US, Israel and Iran has affected commodities markets, with disruptions in the Strait of Hormuz and strikes on Gulf aluminum smelters reducing global supply and pushing prices to multi-year highs.

China’s Star 50 Index rose as much as 9.2% to a record high after the holiday, surpassing its 2021 peak as AI-related momentum lifted semiconductor and tech hardware stocks. Shares of memory chipmakers including Hygon Information Technology Co. and Cambricon Technologies Corp. surged alongside broader regional gains driven by strong global tech sentiment and expectations of higher capital spending by major customers. Fund manager Xu Dawei of Jintong Private Fund Management said the rally reflected spillover strength from global peers. Sentiment was also supported by a stronger April services PMI reading of 52.6, helping lift broader Chinese equities, with the Shanghai Composite rising up to 1.2% and the ChiNext Index up as much as 3.7%.
