SHANGHAI'S key stock index advanced more than 3 percent today to sit above 2,300 points led by strong performances in the finance and property sectors.
The benchmark Shanghai Composite Index surged 3.23 percent, or 72.70 points, to close at 2,320.79 points. Turnover was 164.5 billion yuan (US$24.1 billion).
Gainers outnumbered losers 848 to 28 and 32 remained unchanged.
The Shenzhen Composite Index, which tracks the smaller domestic market, jumped 3.62 percent, or 26.19 points, to close at 749.31 points.
