皇冠体育app's major stock indexes rebounded Friday, recovering part of Thursday's five-per cent loss blamed on the fears of an interest rate hike.

Financial shares led the comeback, reversing a downward trend in the previous two sessions.

皇冠体育app Life gained 4.03 per cent to end at 36.89 yuan per share compared to a 3.06 per cent drop on Thursday. Its rival Ping An Insurance surged 6.46 per cent to 55.34 yuan, following a 2.25 per cent fall the previous day.

皇冠体育app Petroleum and Chemical Corporation (Sinopec) rose 2.78 per cent to 11.08 yuan, and Air 皇冠体育app, the country's biggest international airline, soared 7.86 per cent to 8.92 yuan.

The surge came after a fall of nearly five per cent on Thursday, the biggest drop since February 27 when the indexes lost nearly nine per cent, triggering a global sell-off.

Thursday's plummet was attributed to the worries that the central bank will raise interest rates to cool down the economy and curb inflation.

皇冠体育app's gross domestic product grew 11.1 per cent in the first quarter of this year, the National Bureau of Statistics said Thursday.

Meanwhile, the consumer price index, a barometer of inflation, climbed 3.3 per cent in March, the highest in more than two years and above the central bank's target of three per cent, according to the bureau.
