China market ends mixed

Mainland China's stock market ended mixed in volatile trading on Tuesday, 14 July 2015, as investors withdrew some gains off the table amid concern recent gains were excessive. Profit taking selloff was also fueled on caution before the release of second-quarter gross domestic product data, along with industrial production, fixed-asset investment and retail sales figures for June on Wednesday. The benchmark Shanghai Composite Index declined 45.90 points, or 1.16%, to finish at 3924.49 points, halting a three-day 13% rally. The Shenzhen Composite Index, which tracks stocks on China's second exchange, rose 1.38%, or 29.27 points, to 2149.52. The ChiNext Index, tracking China's Nasdaq-style board of growth enterprises, rose 1.6% to end at 2726.05 points.
