SHANGHAI - 皇冠体育app's benchmark stock index rose above the 3,000 level for the first time in four months on Wednesday.

The rise came as lower oil prices spurred an advance for industrial companies.

皇冠体育app CSSC Holdings Ltd climbed to a 19-month high. Petro皇冠体育app Co and the coal producer 皇冠体育app Shenhua Energy Co paced losses by energy companies as crude oil fell for a second day. Poly Real Estate Group Co slid 0.98 percent, leading declines among developers, on concern the government will take further steps to cool property speculation.

"The retreat in oil prices is a relief, but that's only temporary," said Wu Kan, a Shanghai-based fund manager at Dazhong Insurance Co, which oversees $285 million. "Inflation isn't going to abate soon and is still a major threat to the economy this year."
