China Stocks Breach `Key' Technical Support at 2,481, BGC Partners Says

The Shanghai Composite Index’s fall below “key” technical support of 2,481 deepened losses today and sent a bearish signal to investors, according to BGC Partners Inc.

The measure tumbled 4.3 percent to 2,427.05, the steepest decline since May 17. The gauge breached a so-called “double- bottom” at 2,481, Jamie Coutts, a Singapore-based technical analyst at BGC, said in e-mailed comments.
