SHANGHAI - Stocks on the Chinese mainland rose the most in almost a week on Monday.
The advance came after commodity prices rose and higher-than-forecast growth in the US job numbers bolstered confidence in the global recovery.
The coal producer China Shenhua Energy Co led gains for energy companies after oil rebounded from the biggest weekly decline since 2008.
