What happened in the past 24 hours | October 12, 2026
【Today’s Highlights】
1. China’s nationwide unified data property rights registration system has officially taken effect. Registration certificates are linked to data circulation and transactions. The specific procedures and scope of application should be confirmed against the publicly released implementation guidelines.
2. The expansion projects at China Mobile’s Hohhot Data Center, B25 and B27, have been completed. The project contract value is RMB 2.7 billion, with total IT power of 120 MW. The computing capacity after commissioning should be distinguished from the project’s current completed status.
3. The first five national parks have released five-year ecological assessment information. The share of ecological benefit assessment indicators rated excellent reached 75%, covering ecosystem services such as species conservation and water retention.
【A-Shares / Chinese Assets】
1. Last Friday, the Shanghai Composite Index rose 0.05% to 3,813.79 points; the Shenzhen Component Index gained 0.17%, and the ChiNext Index rose 0.22%. These are closing figures for October 9.
2. As of October 9, the combined margin financing balance on the Shanghai and Shenzhen exchanges stood at RMB 2,521.884 billion, down RMB 14.581 billion from the previous trading day. Margin financing data and index performance should be considered separately.
【Overseas Markets】
1. All three major U.S. stock indexes closed higher last Friday: the Dow rose 0.83%, the S&P 500 gained 0.59%, and the Nasdaq Composite advanced 0.64%. Stock index futures opened slightly higher on Monday.
2. South Korea’s KOSPI extended its early-session decline to 2%. SK Hynix fell 3.2% and Samsung Electronics dropped 1.9%. These intraday moves are not closing results.
【What to Watch】
1. The data property rights registration system and intelligent computing center construction concern rules and infrastructure, respectively. Key items to watch include detailed registration guidelines, project commissioning announcements, and actual operating data. Completion should not be equated directly with the release of all capacity.
2. South Korea’s semiconductor exports rose 170.9% year over year in the first ten days of October, yet chip stocks fell in early trading. The export statistics period and the stock trading period differ, so short-term share price moves cannot be taken as a direct summary of industry conditions.
【China Brief】
1. Huanggang Port officially opened at 06:30 today, providing 24-hour clearance services for travelers and passenger vehicles. Passenger clearance services at the former temporary inspection building and the corresponding Hong Kong control point have also been adjusted.
【Overseas Brief】
1. China and the EU reached an understanding on trade in hybrid vehicles. An EU official said China may halve the number of hybrid vehicles exported to the EU over the next four years. This statement involves expectations and conditions and should not be taken to mean that the reduction has already been completed.
