In the last five days, Chinese stocks rose following the rally of consumer discretionary companies, property developers and coal producers.

Gree Electric Appliances Inc. led other appliance companies after Goldman Sachs Group Inc. recommended its shares. China Shenhua Energy Co increased by 2.6% having gained its biggest gain since May 17. The country's biggest developer, China Vanke Co surged 4.6%.

According to Qian Weihai, an analyst at Shanghai Securities Co, investors would want to buy now as prices are cheap. However, he said that most people remained cautious resulting to fluctuations between gains and losses over the past few sessions.

According to a data from industrial production to exports, The Shanghai Composite has tumbled 12% this year while Hang Seng China slumped by 21%. This pointed to a sustained slowdown in the economy. According to the data compiled by Bloomberg, the Shanghai index trades reached its cheapest level in the last five year last week after it traded by 8.3 times 12 months of projected profit.
