Power tails of index distributions in chinese stock market

The power α of the Levy tails of stock market fluctuations discovered in recent years are generally believed to be universal. We show that for the Chinese stock market this is not true, the powers depending strongly on anomalous daily index changes short before market closure, and weakly on the opening data.
