China's A-share market rallied strongly at the opening on Tuesday, with all three major indices posting notable increases. The surge followed the CPC leadership’s meeting on 2025 economic plans, emphasizing the need for implementing a more proactive fiscal policy and concurrently a moderately loose monetary policy.
