CSRC considering more tools to help investors hedge risks
China's securities regulator on Friday said it will expand the number of equities that investors can short sell to increase supplies on the nation's bourses amid the continued surge in stock prices.
The China Securities Regulatory Commission expanded the number of qualified stocks to 1,100 under the trading program which allows investors to borrow securities to short the market.
