　　Shares nosedived with the benchmark Shanghai Composite Index plunging² 8.5 percent, its worst single-day loss in eight years.

　　The smaller Shenzhen Component³ Index tumbled 7.6 percent. Nearly 2-thousand shares fell by the 10-percent daily limit.

　　Shortly after the closing bell, China's securities regulator urged its financial arm, China Securities Finance Corporation, to continue to buy stocks and stabilize⁴ the market.

　　Analysts⁶ struggled to explain the severity of the sell-off, which accelerated sharply in the afternoon session, long after investors⁸ had had time to digest the latest economic releases.

　　However, the 35-year-old investor⁷ Tan Minghui, who has experienced the recent market turmoil⁹, is one of those who remains¹⁰ optimistic about the markets.

　　"The market dropped a lot not too long ago, so now I have an immunity¹¹ and am not especially anxious. I think the markets have reached their lows; there is not much space for further decrease, that's my personal opinion. I think it would rebound¹² back after dropping."

　　Also on Monday, China's securities regulator said it has ordered investigations¹³ into another two companies for clues on margin¹⁴ lending activities through unofficial channels.

　　Following leads from the previous probe on Hangzhou-based financial software company Hundsun Technologies, the regulator has sent investigators¹⁵ to Shanghai Ming Chuang Techonology and Hithink RoyalFlush Information Network.

　　In early June, the Shanghai composite had risen by 152 percent compared to the previous July and nearly 60 percent since the beginning of the year.

　　But market conditions turned and, along with tightened¹⁶ regulation on margin trading, triggered a massive sell-off that saw the index plunge over 30 percent from its peak.

　　Although the government has stepped in with a string of stabilizing¹⁷ policies, market confidence seems hard to restore.
