Gains outnumbered losses by 834 to 2 in Shanghai and 701 to 6 in Shenzhen. Combined turnover was 170 billion yuan ($24.89 billion), representing a big surge from 93 billion yuan on the previous trading day. Market confidence was spurred by media reports that the central government was planning more stimulus measures covering employment and incomes, international trade, interest and exchange rates as well as industrial production, in addition to the 4 trillion yuan package issued in November. "There is still room for further stimulus plans," said Lu Zhengwei, chief economist with Industrial Bank, citing Premier Wen Jiabao's words during the Second Session of the 11th National People's Congress that the government was prepared for bigger challenges.
