Tue Oct 08 13:32:18 UTC 2024: ## China’s Stock Market Soars After Government Stimulus Measures
**BEIJING/TAIPEI** – China’s stock market surged on Tuesday, marking the tenth consecutive day of gains, following a series of government measures aimed at reviving the country’s faltering economy.
The CSI 300, a major index tracking large companies traded in Shanghai and Shenzhen, jumped almost 6%, bringing its total increase over the past ten days to a staggering 35%. The rally was fueled by investor optimism sparked by government intervention, particularly the encouragement of banks to lend more for stock and real estate purchases.
In late September, the Chinese government announced a package of measures aimed at halting the decline in real estate prices and boosting investor confidence. These included interest rate cuts, reduced mortgage down payments, and a clear call for additional economic support from the ruling Politburo.
Several municipal governments also eased or eliminated restrictions on real estate purchases, signaling a concerted effort to stabilize the housing market. While officials refrained from promising further stimulus on Tuesday, investors remain buoyed by the government’s recent actions and the positive momentum in the market.
