Chinese Shares Open Lower on June 5
Adjust font size:

Chinese shares started lower on Tuesday after a major slump in the previous trading day, with the benchmark Shanghai Composite Index opening at 3,564.43 points, down 105.97 points, or 2.89 percent lower.

The index, which tracks both yuan-denominated A-shares and foreign currency-denominated B-shares listed on the Shanghai Stock Exchange, closed at 3,670.4 points on Monday, down 8.26 percent from last Friday.

The index had a cumulative fall of over 15 percent since the bourse struck a high point of 4,335.18 points on May 29.

The continuous bearishness followed the government policy of tripling stamp tax on stock trading from 0.1 percent to 0.3 percent last week.
