The Mainland China's stock market finished down on Wednesday, 14 October 2015, registering first fall six consecutive sessions, as investors booked part profit amid concerns about the health of the world's second-biggest economy after softer than expected inflation data. However losses were limited amid hopes for further stimulus to support ailing economy. The Shanghai Composite Index erased 0.93%, or 30.79 points, to close at 3262.44 points. The Shenzhen Composite Index, which tracks stocks on China's second exchange, descended 1.2%, or 22.97 points, to 1884.16. The ChiNext Index, which tracks China's NASDAQ-style board of growth enterprises, de-grew 1.58%, or 37.04 points, to close at 2305.
