China's stock market Limit up / Limit down

20 Sep

The price limit system in China’s stock market is a regulatory measure implemented by the Chinese securities authorities to curb excessive speculation. It refers to the maximum allowable daily price fluctuation of a stock, which cannot exceed a certain percentage of the previous trading day's closing price. For regular stocks, the daily price movement limit is 10%. For stocks under special treatment (ST stocks), the maximum daily price movement is restricted to 5%. There is no price limit on the listing day of newly issued stocks or stocks undergoing a rights issue.
