SHANGHAI'S key stock index was up in the morning led by banks and property developers.




Shanghai Composite Index rose 0.72 percent, or 20.68 points, to close at 2,843.68 in the morning session. Turnover dropped to 51.3 billion yuan (US$7.9 billion) from yesterday morning's 63.7 billion yuan.

Banks rallied. Industrial and Commercial Bank of China went up 1.1 percent to 4.55 yuan. China Construction Bank added 1 percent to 5.11 yuan.
