Shanghai stocks snapped a four-day losing streak today with a big rebound on speculations that the government will ease monetary policies and local pension funds will be allowed into the stock market.
The Shanghai Composite Index jumped 4.18 percent to 2,298.38 points, the biggest jump since October 2009. Turnover was 77.4 billion yuan (US$12.2 billion). More than a hundred shares reached their 10 percent daily price limits. All sectors reported gains.
The National Statistics Bureau posted an 8.9 percent increase in gross domestic product in the fourth quarter of 2011, beating the 8.7 percent estimate in a Bloomberg survey. Investors speculate that the central bank will cut the bank reserve requirement ratio soon to inject more liquidity into the economy.
Guo Shuqing, chairman of the China Securities Regulatory Committee, and Dai Xianglong, head of the National Council for Social Security Fund, recently reiterated the government measures to channel pension funds to the stock market to boost investor confidence.
These measures are seen as a major breakthrough in government policy, reported China Securities Journal today. A south China province obtained approval to entrust its 100-billion-yuan pension funds to NCSSF to invest in equities and bonds starting from the first quarter of 2012. The size of NCSSF assets is currently put at 800 billion yuan.
Brokers jumped 6.8 percent. Industrial Securities surged 8.33 percent to close at 10.53 yuan. CITIC Securities added 6.92 percent to 10.51 yuan. Haitong Securities rose 6.68 percent to 8.15 yuan.
It's not the right time for Shanghai Stock Exchange to launch its international board, Han Zheng said at a press conference yesterday, easing investors' worries that the launch of the new international board might drag the market down.
