Banks, insurers pull index down
SHANGHAI'S key stock index closed lower yesterday as insurers and banks tumbled.
The Shanghai Composite Index dipped 0.48 percent, or 13.53 points, to close at 2,776.02 points. Turnover was 108.2 billion yuan (US$15.8 billion), compared to Monday's 108.6 billion yuan.
"The market is still uncertain about the outlook of the economy. The shrinking turnover suggests investors may be reluctant to invest before there's a clear sign of recovery," United Securities wrote in a research note.
