Chinese shares prices were sharply lower on Monday, as investors feared a higher inflation in February could trigger further tightening measures.
The benchmark Shanghai Composite Index, which covers both A and B shares on the Shanghai Stock Exchange, tumbled 154.22 points, or 3.59 percent, to 4,146.30.
The Shenzhen Component Index on the smaller Shenzhen Stock Exchange plunged 697.80 points, or 4.48 percent, to 14,863.05. Source:Xinhua
