China's Shanghai Composite May Open Lower After Three-Session Rally

China's Shanghai Composite Index could open in the red on Wednesday, September 23, 2026, after three consecutive sessions of gains. The benchmark advanced more than 75 points, or 1.7 percent, over that span and now sits just above the 3,950-point plateau. The rally reflects sustained buying momentum in mainland equities, though technical indicators suggest the index faces resistance at current levels. Market participants are watching for cues on whether the streak can extend. Trading direction remains uncertain, with early indications pointing to a weaker open.
