Zijin Gold International (02259) saw its stock price soar by 6.69% during the intraday trading session on Thursday, following the announcement of its inclusion in the Stock Connect list of eligible securities.

The Shenzhen Stock Exchange revealed adjustments to the Stock Connect eligible securities list, which were made in response to changes in the constituents of the Hang Seng Composite LargeCap Index. According to the "Shenzhen Stock Exchange Hong Kong Stock Connect Business Implementation Rules," Zijin Gold International has been added to the list, with the change taking effect from October 16, 2025.

This inclusion in the Stock Connect program is likely to increase the accessibility of Zijin Gold International's shares to mainland Chinese investors, potentially driving up demand and liquidity for the stock. The significant price jump reflects investors' positive reaction to this development, as it could lead to increased capital inflows and heightened interest in the company's shares from a broader investor base.
