Mainland share market falls to lowest level in 3-1/2 years

Mainland stocks fell to their lowest close in three-and-a-half years yesterday, as skittish investors lost confidence in the economy and the market.

The Shanghai Composite Index shed 42.99 points, or 2.1 per cent, to 2,024.84, its lowest close since February 2, 2009, and within one trading session of the psychologically important 2,000-point level.
