Shares fall as arrest clouds sentiment
Print Edition
SHARES in Shanghai fell 1.7 percent yesterday after news emerged that police arrested a star private fund manager on allegations of allegedly manipulating the market and insider trading at the weekend.
The Shanghai Composite Index closed at 3,325.08 yesterday.
Police arrested Xu Xiang, a top performing private fund manager of Shanghai-based Zexi Investment, on Sunday for further investigation into insider trading. The arrest clouded the sentiment of investors.
The case “is a clear warning signal in the short period,” said consulting firm Wanlong Stock.
But it is a good move in the long run as it will eradicate market excesses and set the stage for the market to develop healthily, analysts said.
