SHANGHAI'S key index fell today following weak European markets yesterday as investors remained worried about the European debt crisis after Ireland received a bailout.
The Shanghai Composite Index fell 1.6 percent, or 46.2 points to 2,820.2. Turnover grew to 176.3 billion yuan (US$ 26.5 billion) from yesterday's 134 billion yuan.

The Shenzhen Composite Index, which tracks the smaller market in southern China, was down 2.4 percent to 1,307.8.
Sentiment was low as the European markets tumbled overnight on pessimism about the European debt crisis. Spain and Portugal face more difficulties to raise money as credit default swaps rose for both countries.
Analysts were suspicious whether the Ireland will be able to pay back its bailout loan, which will be about a quarter of the country's gross domestic product.
