2023股市收官：A股受阻低迷东京股市大涨

And now it’s time to take a look at how the Asian stock markets wrapped up - not just the last trading day of the month, but 2023 as a whole....

现在我们来看看亚洲股市的收盘情况--不仅仅是本月最后一个交易日，而是整个 2023 年。

While the Chinese mainland markets ticked higher on their last day of trade for 2023; it was an upbeat end to a difficult year.

在 2023 年的最后一个交易日，中国内地股市走高，为艰难的一年画上了一个圆满的句号。

Both the major Shanghai and Shenzhen indices are ending the year below key psychological levels. The Shanghai Composite below 3,000 points, and the Shenzhen Component below 10 thousand. These are levels the markets have been fighting to maintain in the second half of the year, when China’s post-covid economic recovery started showing signs of being a long, drawn out process. The CSI 300, which tracks China’s blue chip stocks, was one of the worst performing global indexes this year, shedding【去除】11.4 percent over the course of 2023.

沪深两市的主要指数在年底都低于市场关键价。沪综指低于3000点，深成指低于万点。今年下半年，市场一直在努力维持这些水平，当时中国的后伏特经济复苏开始显现出漫长、拖沓的迹象。追踪中国蓝筹股的沪深 300 指数是今年全球表现最差的指数之一，在 2023 年期间下跌了 11.4%。
