A-Share Market Movement | Banking stocks rose collectively, with Xiamen Bank up over 5% and Shanghai Rural Commercial Bank up over 3%.

Gelonghui, July 20 | Bank stocks in the A-share market rose collectively, with Xiamen Bank up over 5%, Shanghai Rural Commercial Bank up over 3%, and China CITIC Bank, Chongqing Bank, Lanzhou Bank, Qingdao Rural Commercial Bank, Zhengzhou Bank, China Zheshang Bank, Zhangjiagang Bank, and Agricultural Bank of China all rising more than 2%.
