Shanghai stocks lost nearly 1 percent on Tuesday, ending a six-day rally, as investors took profits in heavily weighted sectors such as banking.


The market was also hit by weak economic data. China today reported a 6.7 percent drop in foreign direct investment in May, the biggest decline in 16 months.


The Shanghai Composite Index fell 0.92 percent to 2,066.70 at the close after rising to a nearly two-month high in the previous session.


The decline in financial shares was led by Industrial & Commercial Bank of China, which slumped 1.32 percent to 3.73 yuan, its biggest loss since March 10. Banks had outperformed yesterday after the central bank extended a reserve requirement ratio cut to more lenders.
