China: Shares extends gain

Mainland China share market advanced on Wednesday, 30 April 2014, extending gains for second day in row, as investors continued bargain hunting on speculation that the government will take steps to bolster the economy, with healthcare and consumer-related stocks lead rally. However, move on the upside was limited as there was a mix of winners and losers from a flood of first quarter results ahead of the two-day national holiday starting Thursday. The benchmark Shanghai Composite Index finished the session 6.02 points higher at 2026.36, after touching an intraday peak of 2029.54.
