The benchmark Shanghai Composite Index rose 22.49 points, or 0.52%, to reach a record high of 4,346.46 Thursday, the South China Morning Post reported. Meanwhile, the Shenzhen Composite index continued a six-day rally, rising 18.45 points to reach 1,231.65, 43.61 points below the all-time high set in late June. The recent highs, analysts said, restored investor confidence in the market after some short-term uncertainty about government cooling measures following the release of high economic growth figures for the year so far.
