Total turnover was 178.40 billion yuan (US$26.12 billion), slightly shrinking from 196.76 billion yuan the previous trading day.

Gainers outnumbered losers by 439 to 372 in Shanghai and 400 to 317 in Shenzhen.

Shares of most banks gained, boosted by news Thursday from the central bank that China would maintain a moderately loose monetary policy to support economic growth.

Industrial and Commercial Bank of China Ltd. rose 2.02 percent and China Construction Bank gained 1.15 percent.

Banks may provide more than 1 trillion yuan of new loans in June, the third highest in loans among the first six months following the highest loans of 1.89 trillion in March and 1.62 trillion in January, said Friday's China Securities Journal, citing unidentified sources.

Shares of most coal producers gained, boosted by international oil price hikes. China Shenhua Energy Company Limited, the country's top coal producer, edged up 0.08 percent.

Crude prices moved higher and settled at 70.23 dollars a barrel Thursday after the Shell company said one of its pipeline junction points had been shut down because of militants attack in Nigeria, the largest oil producer in Africa.
