Shanghai shares fell for a second day, dragged by banks and brokers after China Merchants Bank Co announced a plan to raise 35 billion yuan (US$5.7 billion) through rights offerings in both A-share and H-share markets.

The benchmark Shanghai Composite Index dipped 0.47 percent to 2057.46 after a dive in the afternoon session. The market stood at 2073.38 by midday. The turnover was 94.57 billion yuan (US$15.5 billion). The index ended the week with a 0.54 percent decline.

"The market will continue to face volatile situations as capital largely pursues some industries that are supported by the government policies," said Huatai Securities.
