Chinese stocks rose for the 6th consecutive trading day and took back the 4,000-point battlefield today. The Shanghai Composite Index closed at 4,072.14, up 76.64 points or 1.91 percent from yesterday's closing.

The release of a 3.4 percent rise in the consumer price index by the National Bureau of Statistics (NBS) this morning had little impact on the stocks, at least not for long.

The stocks responded by a few slides after opening higher from 4,011.68, the deepest seen at around 10:30, as the bench mark index dropped 60 points in minutes to touch the daily lowest point of 3,910.00. It then started to escalate in waves to cross the critical line again, and finish on an uprising path to just a little lower than today's highest 4,073.18.
