The ChiNext Index rose 1.2% Thursday, taking its rally since a June 6 low to 19.3%. Investors have piled into technology shares, which dominate the gauge, on hopes for further monetary easing and renewed trade talks between Beijing and Washington.

Closing more than 20% above the June low would mean the ChiNext gauge meets the threshold for a technical bull market. The gauge entered a bear market in June after it fell more than 20% from an April high.
Wuhu Token Science Co. and Shenzhen Sunway Communication Co. are among leading gainers among ChiNext members this quarter, each having surged more than 45% since the end of June.
