The key Shanghai Composite Index shed 0.23 percent, or 4.68 points, to 2,050.27. Half-day turnover was 35.5 billion yuan (US$5.7 billion).

China will release the May statistics on industrial production and retail sales tomorrow.

Property developers declined. Poly Real Estate, China’s second-largest homebuilder, lost 2.5 percent to 5.14 yuan. Jiangxi Zhong Jiang Real Estate slipped 1.5 percent to 7.46 yuan.

Building materials stocks also fell. China State Construction Engineering lost 1 percent to 2.95 yuan. Sinoma International Engineering slumped 1 percent to 6.83 yuan.
