China stock ETFs rip higher even as mainland markets close for holiday

Published On Oct 2, 2024, 10:30 AM

Chinese stock ETFs have surged significantly, driven by a rally in stimulus measures from the Chinese government to boost the economy. Even though the mainland markets are closed for holiday, ETFs listed in the U.S., such as KWEB, FXI, MCHI, and PGJ, saw increases of at least 5%. This momentum reflects a surge in demand and optimism for Chinese equities following government interventions to stabilize the economy, including interest rate cuts and reduced reserve requirements for banks.

Stock Forecasts

Based on the current bullish sentiment and substantial government stimulus aimed at supporting the economy, Chinese stock ETFs are likely to continue seeing positive momentum. The strong performance from major holdings (like JD.com) further supports this outlook.

The stimulating actions taken by the Chinese government are expected to attract further investment in Chinese equities. Consequently, ETFs such as FXI may also experience upticks, benefiting from the overall positive sentiment in the market.

With the recent bazookas of monetary policy measures and favorable investor sentiment towards Chinese markets, ETFs such as MCHI should also see positive movement as investors seek exposure to China amidst optimism for growth.

The ongoing rally in Chinese stocks, driven by renewed optimism following government support, is likely to push PGJ higher as investors remain bullish on the tech and internet sectors in China.
