China stocks rise slightly on stimulus hopes; trade war uncertainty limits gains

SHANGHAI: China stocks rose on Tuesday as policymakers promised additional measures to bolster a slowing economy, but lingering uncertainties around the U.S.-China trade talks capped gains.

The blue-chip CSI300 Index and the Shanghai Composite Index both rose 0.3% to 3,901.08 and 2,985.34, respectively.

Chinese investors are optimistic about the prospects of more fiscal stimulus, after Ning Jizhe, a vice head of the state planner, told a press conference in Beijing that China would step up efforts to stabilise economic growth.
