Alibaba, JD.com, and Other Chinese Stocks Climb. What Is Behind the Rally.

Chinese stocks climbed on Monday after the government said it would reduce a tax on trading and take other steps to boost its capital markets.The measure is designed to “invigorate the capital market and boost investor confidence,” according to the Chinese government-backed Global Times newspaper. China’s securities regulator also plans to limit new listings, which could help balance supply and demand, and relax margin rules for buying securities.
