SHANGHAI'S market rose more than 1 percent today to end at a three-month high, led by financial shares on hopes that Friday's launch of stock index futures will further boost financial blue chips.
The benchmark Shanghai Composite Index rose 1.02 percent, or 31.99 points, to close at 3,161.25 points. Turnover rose to 184.6 billion yuan (US$27.1 billion) from 175 billion yuan. Losers outnumbered gainers 592 to 295, and 7 shares remained unchanged.
The Shenzhen Composite Index, which tracks the smaller domestic market, was down 1.15 percent to close at 1,238.22 points.
The financial sector has been chased by capital since margin trading and short selling kicked off on March 31. The transaction volume of these two new investment tools exceeded 70 million yuan by last week. The Industrial & Commercial Bank of China has attracted the most investment of 10 million yuan, according to the local two bourses.
