SHANGHAI (Reuters) – China’s stock market closed lower on Thursday, tracking a selloff in global equities after Russia attacked Ukraine after Russian President Vladimir Putin authorized what he called a special military operation.
The CSI300 index, which brings together the largest companies listed in Shanghai and Shenzhen, dropped 2.03%, while the Shanghai index dropped 1.7%.
Russian forces fired missiles at several Ukrainian cities and brought troops to the country’s southern coast on Thursday, officials and media said.
China reiterated its call for all parties involved in the situation in Ukraine to exercise restraint and rejected the claim made by a foreign journalist that Russia’s actions are an invasion.
“Asian equity markets in general posted significant losses today, and the worsening situation in Ukraine has further impacted financial markets,” said Kenny Ng, strategist at China Everbright Securities International.
