Mainland China share market finished session in the red on Monday, 21 November 2022, registering fourth days of losing streak, as worsening COVID-19 infection numbers across the country and fresh mobility restrictions dented market sentiment. At close of trade, the benchmark Shanghai Composite Index declined 0.39%, or 12.20 points, to 3,085.04. The Shenzhen Composite Index, which tracks stocks on Chinas second exchange, fell 0.04%, or 0.81 points, to 2,028.51. The blue-chip CSI300 index decreased by 0.85%, or 32.44 points, to 3,769.13. China is grappling with its worst outbreak in seven months, which had seen several cities placed under lockdown. Beijings most populous district urged residents to stay at home on Monday, while local authorities in the Baiyun District of the southern Chinese city of Guangzhou locked down the area for five days as COVID-19 cases continue to mount. Many businesses in the district were shut and schools shifted classes online. The Beijing government reported on Sunday that one person had died from the coronavirus, the first in mainland China in around six months amid rising infections. Official data showed that China had 27,095 new COVID infections on Nov. 20, the most in more than seven months.
