SHANGHAI stocks eked out small gains today as market sentiment improved with positive policy stimuli.

Shares of iron and steel companies, telecommunication enterprises and those related to Xiongan New Area were among the biggest gainers today.

Investors turned optimistic by the positive signal of development of Xiongan New Area. China Development Bank is going to provide 130 billion yuan (US$18.85 billion) to support the development of Xiongan New Area, according to the announcement published by the official website of the China Development Bank yesterday.

"Distilleries shares fell since business performance of liquor makers was not as good as market expected, according to the first quarter report released by these companies," said Yu Chunsheng, analyst of Sealand Securities.
