Major stocks were mostly on the up today, with fourteen closing the day showing rises, and only four falling. China Railway Group and China Railway Construction were notable risers, up 1.71% and 2.73% respectively, while Ping An Insurance also made a good show, up 2.22%. Continued speculation of a deal with Apple, and good results from its gaming division, continued China Mobile‘s good form, up 1.59%
Conglomerate Noble Group was the biggest faller, down 0.89%.
The Shanghai Composite Index rose 18 points, or 0.82%, to 2,201.07. Talk of a sustained rise still seems premature, when shocks like the Qingdao disaster can happen. This is the trouble of a developing nation: infrastructure and institutional experience are still shaky. You should never forget that market reforms are only thirty-odd years old.
