The Mainland China equity market ended slight higher on Thursday, 23 March 2017, helped by bargain hunting after index compiler MSCI said it was seeking feedback from market participants on whether to add Chinese A-shares to its China Index and emerging markets index. But, market upside capped due to slump in Shanghai B shares amid worries over tight liquidity and stepped-up regulation. Sector performance was mixed, with energy shares lagged, while banking and property stocks firmed. The benchmark Shanghai Composite Index climbed 0.10%, or 3.33 points, to 3,248.55 and the Shenzhen Composite Index, which tracks stocks on China's second exchange, was marginally higher, adding 0.71 point to 2,038.60.
