Shanghai Surges 1.76% To Close Out Terrible 2010

The Shanghai Composite surged 1.76% in overnight trading, ending a horrible year which saw the index fall more than any other major rival.

The Shanghai Composite, on the final day of the year, up 1.76%:

To put that in perspective, here's the 2010 year chart, with the Shanghai Composite down 14.31%.
