HONG KONG: China stocks jumped to their highest level since 2015 on Monday, extending a months-long rally fuelled in part by receding trade tensions with the U.S. and lifting market capitalization to an all-time peak.
A trade truce between China and the U.S., which was extended by 90 days last week, has helped to underpin sentiment, while brokers also cite a liquidity-driven uptick in stock prices due to a rotation of funds into equities from bonds.
