WISCONSIN (CoinChapter.com) — Stocks fell further on Tuesday as a warning about the health of US banks, and unexpectedly dismal Chinese trade data sent shivers through markets.

Here are the five best stock market gainers:
Leju Holdings Ltd. (NYSE:LEJU)
There is no fresh news for Leju Holdings Ltd. (NYSE:LEJU), a leading e-commerce and online media platform for real estate and home furnishing industries in China.
The stock jumped 53% today, which is highly likely to the fact that according to figures provided by the People’s Bank of China on Monday, China’s foreign-exchange reserves increased for the second month in a row in July, bolstered by increasing asset values.
Forex reserves increased by $11.27 billion in July to $3.204 trillion. Investors found the news promising enough to push the Chinese holdings company higher.
