Stocks rebound slightly in morning

SHANGHAI'S stock market recovered slightly from yesterday's plummet in the morning session after liquidity improved.
The benchmark Shanghai Composite Index edged up 0.06 percent to 2,690.33 points. Turnover dropped to 43.3 billion yuan (US$6.7 billion).
"The plunge of the index yesterday was under combined impact of market panic and liquidity concerns," said Shen Zhengyang, an analyst with Dongbei Securities. "There is no need for excessive panic as the central bank may slowdown its tightening steps."
But Shen said the market may remain weak in the short term.
The central bank issued 1 billion yuan's one-year bill today, 4 billion yuan less than last week. A total of 34 billion yuan's notes are maturing this week and market watchers expected that the central bank will inject funds into the market through open market operations this week to ease liquidity pressure.
