As I mentioned in earlier postings, some of the most interesting market charts on the SCMP website were gone. Being of a very suspicious nature, I wondered why.
Finally the SCMP answered (thanks!) my question on 4 December:
Dear Mr. Van Kerckhove,
Thank you for your E-mail and support to South China Morning Post.
Sorry for my late reply, and very sorry for the service interruption.
Reuters is our data provider for the Charts, and our I. T. found that their data came in last weeks is not stable and have errors. So, we were not able to upload the data to our web. Starting from yesterday, the Reuters should have made some adjustment, and the chart of Shanghai and Shenzhen index should be back to normal.
For the 1 mth, 3mths, 1yr and 2 yrs of the SZSE A SHARE IDX still have some problem, and we have chased Reuters to fix it ASAP.
Should you have any question, please kindly e-mail us again.
Best Regards,
John Tai
