The Shanghai index was one of the weaker global stock markets in 2012, trailing the S&P 500 by 10% on the year. Of late the Shanghai index hit a multi-year support line and has been acting like a bungee cord, bouncing off this line!
Over the past 30 days, this index has gained more than 15%, out performing the 500 index by a large margin (see inset above).
