SHANGHAI stocks fell below the 2,200-point level this morning after China posted slower-than-expected economic growth, fueling worries about the recovery of the world's second-largest economy.
The benchmark Shanghai Composite Index dropped 0.92 percent to 2,186.46 points by midday with a turnover of 33.1 billion yuan (US$5.3 billion).
China's gross domestic product (GDP) in the first quarter expanded 7.7 percent from a year earlier, the National Bureau of Statistic said today. That growth rate was far slower than a widely-expected growth rate of 8 percent.
"The disappointing data will cast a shadow over the A-share market in the short term and will dampen market expectation for China's economy," said Changjiang Securities.
Gold stocks led the decline of non-ferrous metals producers as gold price tumbled more than 5 percent last Friday. Zijin Mining Group Co, the nation's largest gold producer, slipped 5 percent to 3.22 yuan. Zhongjin Gold Corp plunged 6.6 percent to 12.95 yuan.
Tourism-related stocks continued a weak run due to the H7N9 avian flu. Huangshan Tourism Development Co slumped 4.3 percent to 12.19 yuan. China International Travel Service Corp Ltd shrank 2.3 percent to 29.30 yuan.
