"Enterprises should be particularly prudent of investing in the risky stock, futures and property markets," he told more than 100 SOE bosses at a meeting.
Those who had started investment should strictly follow the rules and procedures, he said.
He told the enterprises to beef up risk control and keep close watch on the budget. They should also curb debts to minimize the risks, he said.
The SOE watchdog has repeatedly issued such warnings since early 2009 as a number of SOEs including China Eastern Airlines and Air China reported rising book losses from hedging contracts.
