SHANGHAI, China — Chinese stocks rose to a fresh record Monday, with the benchmark Shanghai Composite Index topping 3,100 for the first time on lively demand from securities funds and strong 2006 corporate earnings results.
The Shanghai Composite Index gained 1.6 percent to 3,122.81, its fourth straight record close. The Shenzhen Composite Index rose 2 percent to 833.58, its fifth record high in a row.
"The market was boosted by new funds building portfolios," said Li Xianming, a strategist at Ping An Securities. He estimates the size of securities funds set up since year's start at about 100 billion yuan ($12.9 billion).
Among the most actively traded companies, China United Telecommunications rose 2.3 percent to 5.40 yuan, Baoshan Iron & Steel was 3.2 percent higher at 9.39 yuan and Shanghai International Port (Group) gained 4.5 percent to 8.57 yuan.
Companies that reported strong 2006 earnings also advanced.
Jiangsu Expressway, which reported Monday that its 2006 net profit rose 62 percent over a year earlier, added 2.9 percent to 7.09 yuan. Huadian Power International also gained 2.9 percent, to 5.70 yuan after reporting over the weekend that its net profit last year rose 11 percent from 2005 on strong power demand.
"I think the market's been cheered up by dazzling 2006 results posted by listed companies so far," said Zhao Jianxing, a strategist at China Merchants Securities.
In currency dealings, the Chinese yuan fell against the U.S. dollar after the American unit gained in international markets. The dollar was quoted at 7.7380 yuan Monday, up from Friday's close of 7.7273.
