The China stock market bounced higher again on Friday, one day after ending the two-day winning streak in which it had rallied more than 110 points or 2.8 percent. The Shanghai Composite Index now sits just beneath the 3,990-point plateau although it may hand back those gains on Monday.
The global forecast for the Asian markets is soft thanks to renewed tensions in the Middle East. The European and U.S. markets were mixed to lower and the Asian bourses are also expected to open under pressure.
