SHANGHAI'S key stock index dipped today with weak performances by heavyweights and the finance sector with no obvious current signs of economic recovery.
The benchmark Shanghai Composite Index lowered 0.24 percent, or 5.14 points, to close at 2,133.88 points. Turnover shrank to 70.8 billion yuan (US$10.4 billion) from yesterday's 88.1 billion yuan. Losers outnumbered gainers 446 to 409 and 53 remained unchanged.
The Shenzhen Composite Index, which tracks the smaller domestic market, edged up 0.18 percent to close at 696.98 points.
"The index will continue to fluctuate as heavyweights are still weak and shrinking investment isn't likely to support another rebound. We suggest the market will not become active in the near future," a research note by Shenyin & Wanguo Securities said.
