SHANGHAI stocks declined in morning trading, led down by non-ferrous metals producers on concerns that they will post weak earnings amid the country's economic downturn.
The benchmark Shanghai Composite Index shed 0.46 percent, or 9.74 points, to 2,118.56 points. Turnover stood at 23.3 billion yuan (US$3.7 billion) by midday.
Investors are increasingly nervous about corporate earnings reports to be released this week when 1,536 Shanghai- and Shenzhen-listed companies will disclose their net profits for the third quarter.
Inner Mongolia Baotou Steel Rare-earth (Group) Hi-tech Co, China's biggest producer of rare earth materials, fell among non-ferrous metals stocks, losing 3.4 percent to 32.31 yuan as the company's net profit slumped 89.6 percent annually to 120 million yuan in the third quarter.

Shenyin & Wanguo Securities expected the weighted average profit of the 25 major non-ferrous metals companies to drop 52.5 percent year on year in the first three quarters this year, widening from a 45 percent decrease in the first half of this year.
