Important News

1. The Shanghai Stock Exchange issued a notice to brokers strengthening the management of trading business units.

Today, the Shanghai Stock Exchange issued a notice to securities firms strengthening the management of trading units. The exchange clearly requires securities firms to immediately initiate a comprehensive self-inspection of all trading units, with non-compliant configurations to be rectified within three months. The exchange mandates that trading units must be properly allocated internally, treating all investors fairly and safeguarding the legitimate rights and interests of investors, particularly retail investors, while strictly prohibiting special privileges for individual investors. Securities firms must ensure that the cleanup and rectification process proceeds smoothly and orderly, and should prioritize using cleared trading units to enhance the trading experience for ordinary investors. A securities industry insider explained that this move primarily targets quantitative clients, eliminating dedicated trading channels to reduce trading inequities. In theory, it aims to level the playing field among proprietary trading units, retail investor units, and high-frequency quantitative trading units, ensuring retail investors are not disadvantaged by speed disparities. It is understood that previously, a small number of institutions gained speed advantages of up to a thousandfold in microseconds through dedicated server locations and independent trading units, resulting in ordinary investors’ orders being overtaken or front-run.

It stressed forward-looking planning and investment in future industries by strengthening basic and applied research, accelerating the industrialization and commercialization of frontier technologies, and establishing mechanisms for increased investment and risk-sharing in future industries. It called for project planning and investment in the deep upgrading of traditional industries by vigorously promoting technological transformation investment and driving high-end and branded development. It emphasized project planning and investment in AI empowerment across all sectors by accelerating the full-chain development of the AI industry and comprehensively implementing the “AI+” initiative.

At a regular press conference on the 4th, Ministry of Commerce spokesperson He Yongqian responded to a question regarding the U.S. proposal to impose tariffs on economies alleged to engage in forced labor, stating: Regarding the Section 301 investigation, China’s position has been consistent.

5. The price of high-end optical fiber preforms has risen by nearly 550%; industry insiders say the short-term supply shortage of preforms will remain periodically constrained.

The optical preform, also known as an "optical rod," is the raw material that determines the performance of optical fibers. Optical rods are categorized into three main types: A, B, and C. Among these, Class A2 optical preforms, as a high-end product category, are experiencing explosive demand. Industry insiders note that as an upstream material for optical cable products, optical preforms account for 70% of industry profit distribution. Currently, the most sought-after optical rod product is the "Class A2 optical preform," which produces fibers with strong bending resistance and is widely used in AI computing infrastructure and home broadband applications. Data shows that the price of Class A2 preforms has surged from 22 to 30 yuan per equivalent core-kilometer at the beginning of 2025 to 160 yuan per equivalent core-kilometer in 2026—an increase of nearly 550%. Industry experts indicate that expanding optical rod production capacity typically requires 18 to 24 months; in the short term, the supply shortage of optical rods will remain structurally constrained. Companies with optical rod production capacity will be the primary beneficiaries of this market trend, while smaller manufacturers may face supply shortages, reliance on contract manufacturing, and compressed profit margins.

8. China Chamber of Commerce in the EU Responds to Questions from the Press on the European Commission’s Proposal for the “European Technological Sovereignty Package”

The China-EU Chamber of Commerce notes the European Commission’s newly proposed “Package on European Technological Sovereignty,” which covers semiconductors, artificial intelligence (AI), cloud services, open-source technologies, and the digitalization of energy. These initiatives are closely linked to the development of Chinese enterprises operating in Europe and have significant implications for trade, investment, and cooperation prospects in the digital economy between China and the EU. The China-EU Chamber of Commerce states that, as two of the world’s most important digital markets, China and the EU should strengthen connectivity and collaboration rather than move toward market fragmentation and technological fragmentation, in order to jointly promote innovation, enhance industrial competitiveness, and achieve sustainable growth.

Walter Gases (688268.SH) has issued an announcement regarding abnormal fluctuations in stock trading, abnormal fluctuations in the trading of "Walter Convertible Bonds," and risk warnings. According to relevant decrees of the Government of the Russian Federation, helium has been included in a list of designated commodities, which explicitly requires special approval from senior Russian government officials for the export of helium to regions outside the Eurasian Economic Union. To date, the company understands that such approvals must be applied for on a monthly basis; the company obtained the necessary permit for helium procurement in this region in May 2026, while the special permit for June is still under application. It is possible that monthly applications will continue in the future, and the approval outcomes remain uncertain.

As of the date of this announcement, the company has become aware of market rumors regarding price adjustments for helium products. Upon verification, the company confirms that, to date, the sales prices of helium-related products have shown a clear downward trend from their recent highs.
