Betroffenen chinesischen Investoren Blick auf einen Bildschirm, der die Preise der Aktien (rot für Preis steigt und grün für den Preis fallen) auf einer Börse brokerage House
Concerned Chinese investors look at a screen displaying prices of shares (red for price rising and green for price falling) at a stock brokerage house in Hangzhou city, east China's Zhejiang province, 11 October 2018. China's benchmark stock index dived to near four-year lows Thursday (11 October 2018), joining a global equities rout after a tech sell-off battered Wall Street overnight. Investors sold across the board amid a confluence of factors, including rising interest rates in the United States, a heated Sino-US trade battle as well as IMF warnings about financial stability and growth risks. The benchmark Shanghai Composite Index lost 4.3 per cent in the morning trading session, to reach 2, 607.44 points ª a level not touched since November 26, 2014, when Chinese stocks were soaring ahead of a 2015 crash. The CSI300 index fell 4.0 percent to 3, 150.21 points, its lowest level since July 2016.
