SHANGHAI'S key stock index rose the most in nearly three weeks yesterday, the first trading day after a five-day break, boosted by gains in metals firms and gold miners.
The Shanghai Composite Index gained 1.41 percent, or 36.42 points, to close at 2,627.97.
Turnover expanded to 90.5 billion yuan (US$13.5 billion) from last Tuesday's 66.3 billion yuan.
Metal producers led gainers after output of non-ferrous metals in the past eight months surged 26.5 percent from a year earlier.
Copper prices in August jumped 5.8 percent from last month while aluminum prices grew 2.4 percent.
Jiangxi Copper Co climbed 5.2 percent to 31.02 yuan, Yunnan Copper Industry Co gained 3.3 percent to 20.89 yuan and Aluminum Corp of China added 2.8 percent to 9.89 yuan.
