U.S. Stocks Rise, Oil and Gold Fall
U.S. stock market's three major indices closed higher, while crude oil and gold prices both declined.
A Tale of Two Cities: The Winter of Chinese Concept Stocks Amid the Revelry of Tech Giants
The autumn winds in New York are bleak, and the electronic screens on Wall Street flicker with a green glow. The Dow Jones Industrial Average, the Nasdaq Composite, and the S&P 500, the three benchmarks, closed higher as if they had been injected with a stimulant. Tech giants are in high spirits, with NVIDIA's stock soaring like a rainbow, followed closely by Netflix. Apple, Amazon, Facebook, Microsoft—each name shines with the radiance of money.
However, behind this prosperous scene, there lies another spectacle, as cold and piercing as the other side of a coin. Chinese concept stocks across the ocean are experiencing their darkest hour. The NASDAQ Golden Dragon China Index plummeted by 6.85%, marking the largest single-day drop since October 2022. Behind this chilling number are the wails of countless investors who have lost their shirts and the sighs of entrepreneurs whose dreams have shattered.
Jinko Energy, Daqo New Energy—once shining stars in the new energy sector—are now seeing their stock prices plummet, with a nearly 20% drop cutting through investors' confidence like a sharp blade. EHang, Dada Group, and Tiger Brokers are also losing their luster, with declines exceeding 16%. Gaotu Group and Lufax Holding, once the darlings of financial technology, are now also succumbing to misfortune, with drops exceeding 14%.

Bilibili and Weibo, once the epitome of glory, are also reeling in this storm, with declines exceeding 12%. Ats Solar, Ctrip Group—names that carried the travel dreams of countless people—are now also falling into the dust, with drops nearing 10%.
Even the once highly regarded new forces in car manufacturing, Li Auto and NIO, were not spared, with stock prices falling by about 8%. E-commerce giants JD.com and Baidu, as well as XPeng Motors, are also shivering in this winter, with declines exceeding 7%.
What is going on? What force has made the U.S. stock market present such a stark contrast of ice and fire?
U.S. large-cap technology stocks, with their strong technical capabilities, mature business models, and stable profitability, continue to be favored by investors.The ongoing winter of Chinese concept stocks poses a severe test for Chinese companies. It serves as a reminder that the development of a business should not solely pursue speed and scale; quality and sustainability must also be emphasized. Only by continuously improving corporate governance and enhancing the transparency of information disclosure can companies win the trust of investors and remain invincible in fierce market competition.
For investors, this winter is also a profound lesson. It cautions us that investing carries risks and entering the market requires caution. One should not blindly follow trends but should analyze rationally and choose companies that truly have investment value.
As night falls in New York, the lights on Wall Street continue to shine brightly. However, behind this prosperity, there hides countless anxieties and unease.
The future direction of Chinese concept stocks remains unknown. But one thing is certain: only those companies that can truly withstand the test will eventually emerge from the winter and welcome the dawn of spring.
The simultaneous decline in crude oil and gold prices also seems to foreshadow the uncertainty of the global economy. This complex and intertwined economic landscape is like a giant puzzle, waiting for us to unravel.
This is not just a story of the stock market; it is a story of the times, a microcosm of the global economic transformation. It reminds us that in this era filled with challenges and opportunities, only by maintaining a clear mind can we find our direction in the ever-changing market.
