BEIJING, Nov. 22 - Chinese share prices on Thursday slumped1 heavily as the benchmark Shanghai Composite Index, which covers both A and B shares, plunged2 230 points, or 4.41 percent, to 4,984.16 points at the close.
Heavy-weights such as PetroChina, China Pingan and Citic Securities led the downward trend.
PetroChina, the country's largest oil producer, lost 4.64 percent to 35.11 yuan on the fourth day of its entry into the Shanghai Composite Index list.
China Pingan dropped 7.78 percent to 106.89 yuan. Citic Securities slumped 6.39 percent to 87.24 yuan.
Less than 100 stocks gained in the two markets which saw more than 1,200 losses. This could be a reaction to the corrections of the U.S. and Hong Kong markets, dealers3 said.
Analysts4 said the market is under pressure resulting from insufficient5 capital, as capital chasing sales of new stocks was locked in by the subscription6 process and the government's tightened7 monetary8 policy began to bite.
The heavy loss dampened investor9 sentiments as the combined turnover10 on the two bourses (Shanghai and Shenzhen) shrank to 99.6billion yuan from 103 billion yuan on the previous trading day.
The Shenzhen Component11 Index on the smaller Shenzhen Stock Exchange dived 798.8 points, or 4.77 percent, to 15,949.36 points.
The Hushen 300 Index, accounting12 for 60 percent of the nation's stock market value, was down 225 points, or 4.5 percent, to 4,772.62 points.(One U.S. dollar equals 7.41 yuan)
