On 4th December, the three major stock exchanges in China's capital market announced the introduction of stock-index circuit breaker mechanism which will take effect on 1st January 2016.

ANBOUND’s research team points out that like the price limit rule which is currently in place, the stock-index circuit breaker mechanism is also a kind of stabilizing mechanism.

The introduction of this mechanism will add another layer of protection to the long-term, healthy development in our nation’s financial market.
