(Yicai  Global) Oct. 14 -- Chinese mainland shares consolidated their gains in  morning trade, with the large cap-heavy Shanghai Composite Index  rebounding to its highest point in nearly one month.

The  index rose 1.38 percent to 3,014.73 going into the lunch break, while  the Shenzhen Component Index finished 1.32 percent stronger at 9,794.37.  The ChiNext Price Index, which tracks growth enterprises listed in  Shenzhen, closed up 0.93 percent at 1,682.41 at the bell.

Investor  confidence in China's financial market has glowed following reports of  substantial progress in high-level economic and trade talks between  China and the US late last week.
