Shares surge to 3-month high on March data

SHANGHAI shares yesterday increased to a three-month high on a rebound in China’s exports in March and a recovery in investor sentiment as macro data signaled a recovery in the economy.

The Shanghai Composite Index gained 1.42 percent to 3,066.64 points yesterday, posting its highest close since January 8.

China’s exports in March grew 11.5 percent from a year earlier in dollar terms, reversing a 25.4 percent slump in February.

“All March data released so far suggested economic growth momentum improved after a weak January-February, boosted by previous policy easing and a rebound in the property market,” Nomura Securities Co wrote in a note yesterday.

Data on Monday showed that producer prices rose, pointing to signs of a rebound in industrial demand.

Yanzhou Coal Mining Co jumped 8.15 percent to 11.81 yuan (US$1.82), leading gains by coal producers.
