SHANGHAI'S key stock index closed higher yesterday, helped by strong performances by banks.
The Shanghai Composite Index was up 1.67 percent, or 45.79 points, closing at 2,789.55. Turnover was 108.6 billion yuan (US$16 billion).
"Although the index ended higher at the end of the trading day there were still fluctuations, which suggested the market is not yet stable. We think a period of adjustment is very likely in the future," GF Securities wrote in a research report.
