Zhu Rongji's death announced by top bodies; economic countermeasures and NEV milestone

朱镕基逝世由最高机构宣布;经济反制与新能源车里程碑同日并行

The death of former Premier Zhu Rongji was announced jointly by the CPC Central Committee, NPC Standing Committee, State Council, and CPPCC National Committee. On the same day, the Ministry of Commerce unveiled countermeasures against a US compliance testing firm, tightened drone-related export controls to the US, and launched a national security investigation into imported office equipment. Markets showed a mixed picture: the Shanghai Composite edged down 0.50% while Shenzhen's tech-heavy boards rose, with the ChiNext up 1.49%. The yuan was little changed. Deviation Watch flags unusually high temperatures in Chengdu and Guangzhou, both more than two standard deviations above their 30-day means, and gold at a 67-day high of 4,489.7, up 8.06% from its 30-day mean. The NEV sector passed a symbolic threshold, with monthly new-car sales exceeding 60% for the first time and cumulative share topping 50%. Meanwhile, the Pinglu Canal ship trial marks progress on a strategic infrastructure project.
