[SHANGHAI] Shanghai shares closed down 1.06 per cent on Wednesday as weakness in the yuan and worse-than-expected economic figures hurt sentiment, dealers said.

The Shenzhen Composite Index, which tracks stocks on China's second exchange, dropped 1.54 per cent, or 35.09 points, to 2,249.18 on turnover of 506.7 billion yuan.
