SAIC Motor Co paced gains in the automobile sector with a hike of 8.21 percent to 19.90 yuan. China's largest auto maker by sales decided to buy its parent SAIC Group's 60.10 percent stake in auto parts maker Huayu Automotive Systems Co.

Ruan Jun, an analyst with China Merchants Securities, recommended investors to pay more attention to new energy vehicles, a key industry the country is going to focus in the next five years.

"This new energy area is the only chance for China to catch up or even surpass western countries in the future," he said.
