(MT Newswires) -- Chinese shares closed mixed on Wednesday as investors are still wary about the impact of U.S. economic data that could mold the Federal Reserve's monetary policy.
The Shanghai Composite Index, the main gauge of Chinese stocks, gained nearly 0.2% or by 6.93 points to reach3,946.74. The Shenzhen Component Index slipped by 0.40 points to 13,080.09.
The U.S. is set to release September data for non-farm payrolls on Thursday. The data release has been delayed due to the federal government shutdown, according to a Reuters report.
At home, the People's Bank of China is forecast to keep investment rates unchanged for a sixth straight month in November, according to a survey of 23 experts polled by Reuters.
Economists made the forecast after the central bank kept its seven-day reverse repo rate, which is already considered a major policy rate, according to the report.
China also made its biggest daily purchase of soybeans since the trade war truce between Presidents Donald Trump and Xi Jinping.
Chinese importers purchased 792,000 tons of soybeans from the U.S. for the 2025-2026 marketing year, the U.S. Department of Agriculture said Tuesday.
On the corporate front, Bank of China's (SHA:601988) Shanghai stock closed 4% higher on Wednesday. The bank redeemed 30 billion yuan of write-down perpetual captial bonds issued in November 2020.
