Updates prices
SINGAPORE, Sept 2 (Reuters) -Chinese shares fell in heavy trade on Monday, with consumer and property companies suffering the most significant losses, driven by economic data and doubts over a report suggesting China may ease mortgage refinancing.
** The Shanghai Composite index .SSEC closed down 1.1% at 2,811.04 points.
** China's blue-chip CSI300 index .CSI300 finished 1.7% lower and the real estate index .CSI000952 fell 4.1%. The consumer staples sector .CSI000912 fell 3.1% and the food and beverage index .CSI000815 dropped 3.5%.
** Chinese H-shares listed in Hong Kong .HSCE closed 1.9% lower at 6,211.61, while the Hang Seng Index .HSI ended down 1.7% at 17,691.97.
** A private survey showed that China's new home prices barely rose in August, while developers China Vanke 000002.SZ and Hong Kong's New World Development 0017.HK reported losses.
** New World Development shares suffered the largest fall on the Hang Seng, slumping 13% to a two-decade low after the company estimated a net loss as deep as HK$20 billion ($2.6 billion) for the year ended June 30.
** China Vanke shares fell 5% after the state-backed property giant reported a core loss of 7.6 billion yuan ($1.1 billion) in the first half on Friday, underscoring the depth of the malaise in the sector.
** Analysts also assessed the effect of potential loosening of mortgage refinancing rules which were reported by Bloomberg News on Friday.
