ChiNext Tumbles, Growth to Value Shift


The ChiNext has only closed lower once following the 2015 peak. On September 15, 2015, it fell to 1797.56, but that was a spike down that was reversed the next day. Today's close at 1830.85 is the second lowest closing price. The intraday low was a new post-peak low of 1783.74.

This article about today's dip caught my eye.
