New tech board plans accelerate

Shanghai bourse conducts trials of platform to provide more financing channels for firms

The Shanghai Stock Exchange said a second systematic dry run for the science and technology board will be held on Saturday at a time of renewed investor confidence in the A-share market after a period of volatile trading caused by trade friction with the United States.

The dry run will test the performance and capacity of the bourse's bid-match platform, comprehensive business platform and member counter system. The first test run was held on May 11.
