Time for China's interbank trading extended
( 2003-07-02 09:59) (Xinhua)
Beginning July 1, the trading time for China's interbank money market is
extended from the previous four and a half hours to six hours, according to the
Shanghai- based National Interbank Funding Center.
This second extension since January 2000 of the trading time for the
interbank businesses in the country is the result of a survey of 120 brisk
interbank traders. The survey found there was urgent demand for longer trading
time.
According the new timetable, morning trade opens at 9:00 a.m. each trading
day and closes at 11:00 a.m., an hour later than before. The afternoon session
starts half an hour earlier at 1:30 p.m. and ends at 4:30 p.m.
