Equities see marginal gains

Offshore yuan strengthens, but domestic investors wait for more government intervention to stabilize currency

Stock prices closed higher on Tuesday in choppy trade and light turnover as investors waited for more government measures to stabilize the weakened Chinese currency.

The benchmark Shanghai Composite Index gained 0.2 percent to close at 3,022.86 points. The index fell as much as 1.2 percent below the 3,000-point level during morning trading but later recouped its losses.
