Market recovers on hopes that reserve ratio may be lowered

SHARES in Shanghai made some recovery in morning trade, with financials leading blue chips higher on expectations that China might lower its record high bank reserve ratio.

The Shanghai Composite Index closed early trade with a jump of 1.32 percent to 2,503.19, the first rise in five trading days. Turnover, however, remained extremely low at about 29.9 billion yuan (US$4.68 billion), indicating investors' reluctance to participate.

Brokerages were the biggest gainers among financials this morning. Founder Securities Co hiked 7.18 percent to 6.27 yuan. CITIC Securities, one of the country's biggest brokerages, climbed 3.75 percent to 12.16 yuan.

Banks followed the gainers. Industrial & Commercial Bank of China, the country's largest lender, added 1.23 percent to 4.12 yuan.

Analysts said the rise among financial plays was probably a result of growing expectations in the market that the central bank may lower its bank reserve requirement ratio to slightly ease liquidity in the market.
