21/11/2008 17:37
Chinese shares dropped by 0.72 percent to close at 1,969 points today amid
rebounds on other Asian equities markets. The benchmark Shanghai Composite
Index, which covers both A and B shares, fell 0.72 percent to 1,969 points. The
Shenzhen Component Index gained 0.22 percent to 6,711 points. The slight drop
indicated that investor sentiment was boosted by rises in the regional market
and expectation of a further interest rate cut over the weekend, said
analysts.
