In a stunning display of market optimism, pre-market trading witnessed a significant surge in Chinese stocks. The SSE Index in China closed the day up 2.91%, with the CSI 300 gaining 3.62%, and Hong Kong's Hang Seng Index adding an impressive 3.61% to the end the week on a high. As major indices moved up in China and Hong Kong on the announcement of GDP numbers, and stimulus figures, US listed counterparts are showing some real notable upside moves.

Fangdd Network (NASDAQ: DUO), an innovative online real estate marketplace, is leading the charge with an impressive 18.5% indicated rise before the opening bell. This steep rise underscored growing investor confidence in the sector, often seen as a bellwether for Chinese technology equities.

Alongside Fangdd, Tiger Brokers' Up Fintech (NASDAQ: TIGR), a leading online stock brokerage firm, also experienced a substantial uptick, with its shares soaring by approximately 14%. This movement reflected a wider trend of bullish sentiment on Chinese investments, as evidenced by other notable gains in the market.

NIO Inc. (NYSE: NIO), a company at the forefront of electric vehicle production in China, enjoyed a notable boost of about 5.5% in its stock value. Its industry counterpart, XPeng Inc. (NYSE: XPEV), also cruised ahead with an increase of 6.3%. The buy everything China rally seems to be back at least for the day.

E-commerce giant JD.com (JD) was not left behind, as its shares appreciated by a solid 5.1%. The company's strong market performance underpins the resilience of online retail platforms, even as global supply chains face persistent challenges. Alibaba was still a gainer on the day, but with early gains limited to 2.79%, there appears to be a greater appetite for some of it's peers.

The pre-market surge paints a dynamic picture of the current financial market landscape, where Chinese stocks are gaining momentum after what had been a more difficult couple of sessions. Whether this enthusiasm remains within the trading day and on into the weeks to follow will likely be on the minds of markets for some time time to come.
