HONG KONG -- China's stock market extended its breakneck rally on Monday, as Beijing's stimulus measures continued to buoy sentiment and investors rushed to buy in before a weeklong holiday.
The CSI 300 index, a benchmark for blue chip stocks listed on mainland exchanges, jumped 8.48% on the day, the biggest daily gain since April 2008. This followed a rise of 15.7% in the index last week, which was its best weekly performance since 2008.
