China Stocks: Trading Called Off for Second Time This Week
jan 6 2016 SHANGHAI—China’s stock market tumbled and scored its shortest trading day in its 25-year history on Thursday, as Beijing’s growing tolerance of a weaker currency intensified concerns about capital flight and the health of the world’s No. 2 economy.
The stock market stopped trading about 30 minutes after opening, as a newly-installed mechanism to limit volatility kicked in for the second time this week.
The benchmark Shanghai Composite Index ended the dramatically brief trading day down more than 7% at 3115.89.
“I am speechless. I was about to clear my position but I couldn’t since the stock already fell by its 10% daily trading limit,” said Gu Yuan, a Shanghai-based retail investor.
