SHANGHAI'S key stock index dropped yesterday as metal producers fell after the European Union imposed extra tariffs on Chinese aluminum foil and steel pipes.
The benchmark Shanghai Composite Index was down 0.52 percent, or 14.71 points, to close at 2,838.84. Turnover was 81.1 billion yuan (US$11.9 billion). Losers outnumbered gainers 573 to 259, and 78 shares remained unchanged.
The index has lost 4.18 percent since Monday, the worst performance in six weeks.
The EU decided on Thursday to impose a five-year anti-dumping tariff of 39.2 percent on steel pipes from China from October 8.
Angang Steel Co Ltd dropped 2.03 percent to 11.60 yuan. Wuhan Iron & Steel lost 2.4 percent to 7.33 yuan. Baoshan Iron & Steel Co Ltd declined 0.45 percent to 6.62 yuan.

"Investors may pull out some of their capital from the main bourse to buy shares on the GEM and this may hurt fluidity in the market," said analyst Zhou Lin of Huatai Securities.
