(Yicai Global) April 10 --  China's mainland stock markets recovered some of the lost ground today  as declining prices activated bargain-hunters.

The Shanghai  Composite Index rose 0.07 percent to close at 3,241.93 points. The  Shenzhen Component Index fell 0.01 percent to 10,435.08. The ChiNext  Index, which tracks growth enterprises in Shenzhen, declined 0.83  percent to 1,726.64. Overall, the price action was volatile, while trading volume was moderate. 

Carmakers, beverage firms,  and healthcare companies performed best, while brokerages, internet  companies, and steel firms were among those that lost the most. Property  developers, yesterday's winners, also fell big today.
