China's shares slip and head for longest loss in 4 months
Chinese equities decreased on Monday falling for the fifth straight session and heading for the longest series of losses in a four-month period mainly due to drops of health-care and liquor companies offsetting jumps in energy producers. The Shanghai Composite Index slipped 0.2% to 2,128.37 as of 1:07 p.m., while the CSI 300 Index fell 0.4% to 2,358.96.
