The Shanghai Composite index SHCOMP, 0.68% led Thursday’s declines, dropping 4.5%. Benchmarks also fell in Tokyo, Hong Kong and Sydney.News that China’s economy grew 3.2% in annual terms in April-June, after a 6.8% contraction in the previous quarter, failed to keep an overnight rally going. The expansion came as anti-virus lockdowns were lifted and factories and stores reopened. But it still was the weakest positive figure since China started reporting quarterly growth in the early 1990s. Weak retail sales showed that boosting factory output is the easy part, said Stephen Innes of AxiCorp.

In South Korea, the Kospi 180721, 1.04% shed 0.8%. India’s Sensex 1, +0.94% was the outlier, gaining 0.5%.

Shares fell in Southeast Asia and Taiwan. In Australia, the S&P/ASX 200 XJO, 0.56% fell 0.6%, as authorities reported that Victoria state had confirmed a record 317 new coronavirus cases in a day.
