Updated: 2009-08-24 16:43 China's equities rose for the third trading day as the benchmark index advanced 1.1 percent on Monday's close, led by China Petroleum and Chemical Corporation (Sinopec) and non-ferrous metals. The benchmark Shanghai Composite Index rose 32.66 points, to finish at 2,993.43. The Shenzhen Component Index added 1.55 percent, or 183.78 points, to end at 12,075.80.

China Petroleum and Chemical Corporation (Sinopec), Asia's biggest oil refiner, advanced 2.21 percent to end at 13.39 yuan after its profit surged. The company said Sunday its first-half net profit rose 332.8 percent year on year to 33.25 billion yuan because of adjusted refined oil prices in the domestic market. It predicted its net profit for the first three quarters would rise more than 50 percent year on year for the same reasons.
