Chinese Shares Tumble on Surging PPI Print E-mail
Despite sharp gains on Wall Street last Friday and China's gold rush during its first home field Olympics, the Chinese stock markets slid further to a 17-month low on Monday.

Both the Shanghai and Shenzhen markets posted losses over 5% for the session. The Shanghai Composite Index shed 135.65 points, or 5.21%, to close at 2,470.07. The Shenzhen Component Index slid by 488.63 points, or 5.64%, to finish at 8,170.15. Aggregate turnover shrank by more than 10% to stay below RMB 62 bln.

The July Producer Price Index (PPI) was released before lunch, indicating that factory-gate prices had climbed 10% YOY in June, their fastest pace in twelve years. Resurfacing hyperinflation risks dented market sentiment and sent more than 1,200 stocks to losses greater than 5% by the closing bell. Shanghai Pudong Development Bank was alone among the Top 20 to close higher.
