Chinese stocks rocketed 5.33 percent amid a full-range comeback in Asian
stock markets today. The comparative growth rate was the largest
single-day surge since May 30.
Instead of a few heavyweights lifting the whole market up as in recent
cases, today both index-drivers and smaller-cap shares surged in waves,
as 1,312 of the total 1,476 A shares surged in waves to higher price
levels.
Total turnover of the stocks enclosed by the major indices was 219.8
billion yuan, higher than that of last Friday.
