Despite this, technical analysis suggests a potential rebound if the index remains above the 100-day moving average. The upcoming US consumer inflation report is anticipated to influence market movements further.

In 2025, the net profit of non-listed life insurance companies surged to 66.6 billion yuan, but net assets shrank by nearly 10 billion yuan, indicating a structural divergence of "profit increase without capital increase." The median comprehensive investment return rate dropped from 8.39% to 2.73%. Several insurance companies, such as BOC Samsung Life and CEB Grand China Life, despite achieving record high net profits, saw a significant decline in net assets, reflecting the impact of new financial instrument standards and market conditions

- In 2025, non-listed life insurance companies reported a misleading profit surge, with total net profits soaring to 66.6 billion yuan, up 165% from 2024.  
- Despite this profit increase, the median comprehensive investment return plummeted to 2.73%, and industry net assets fell by nearly 10 billion yuan, indicating a structural divergence of "increased profits without increased assets."  
- The primary drivers of this phenomenon stem from market volatility and the shift to new accounting standards, which have led to extreme fluctuations in net profits compared to net assets.
