SHANGHAI'S key stock index rose in the morning session after the central bank's governor said the economic slump in the world's third-largest economy has been basically brought under control.
The benchmark Shanghai Composite Index added 0.54 percent, or 12.77 points, to close at 2,374.47 points. Turnover stood at 93.41 billion yuan (US$13.74 billion). Gainers outnumbered losers 464 to 369 and 38 remained unchanged.
The Shenzhen Composite Index, which tracks the smaller domestic market, was up 0.78 percent to close at 780.07 points.
Leading economic indicators were recovering, proving that the government had been acting rapidly and forcefully compared to those in other major economies, the People's Bank of China Governor Zhou Xiaochuan said.
Zhou's comments were echoed by Hong Kong billionaire Li Ka-shing, who yesterday said China's economy will be the fastest in the world to recover and advised investors to consider buying stocks and property.
Baoding Tianwei Baobian Electric Co surged by the 10 percent daily limit to 31.28 yuan after the government said it will give subsidies to fund solar projects.
