SHANGHAI'S benchmark stock index yesterday closed more than 1 percent higher at the highest level in more than 2 weeks and recorded the first weekly gain in four weeks, as investors grew cautiously optimistic about the near-term trend after the market returns from the Spring Festival holiday.
The Shanghai Composite Index rose 1.09 percent, or 32.63 points, to close at 3,018.13 on the last trading day before the weeklong holiday. Turnover was 56.1 billion yuan (US$8.2 billion).
For the week, the barometer climbed 2.7 percent, the biggest weekly gain this year.
The market will reopen on February 22.
"Annual reports set to be announced after the holiday break are likely to lift the market as more companies are expected to post better-than-expected results, and the index will remain on an upward trend despite small fluctuations," Southwest Securities said in a research note.
