Chinese shares tumbled across the board Thursday, with a gauge of large-cap stocks heading for its biggest loss since the middle of last year.
Analysts said investors are concerned about a slump in China’s bond market spilling into equities as authorities step up a campaign to reduce leverage. The government’s message that Kweichow Moutai Co. shares were rising too fast has also sent ripples across the market. Still, the downside may be limited as the slump could attract buyers on the hunt for oversold shares.
