China futures exchange imposes limits to curb 'speculation'

BEIJING (Reuters) - China has restricted 164 investors in the stock futures market from opening accounts for a month to temper "speculation", the China Financial Futures Exchange said in a statement on Wednesday.

The curbs came as volatile Chinese shares slipped again on Wednesday after simultaneous cuts in interest rates and the reserve ratio failed to whet demand for stocks.
