This Week in ETFs: 1 New ETF & a Raft of Closures

China's January CPI inflation was weaker than forecast at -0.8% YoY, which marks the lowest level since September 2009. We expect this to mark the bottom of the current cycle.

China: January 2024 CPI Inflation Fell To The Lowest Level Since 2009, Likely To Mark The Bottom

Why China May Need To Do More To Boost Investor Confidence

The Chinese economy is stabilising, but the only fireworks will come from the new year celebrations, which begin on February 11, as momentum remains weak. China's GDP growth for the fourth quarter rose from 4.9% year-on-year to 5.2%, bringing 2023 full-year growth to 5.2% YoY, exceeding the 5% growth target set at last year's Two Sessions.

China Begins Year Of The Dragon With Weak Economic Momentum

While recent policy announcements and data surprises have generated some optimism, we maintain a cautious stance on China's economic prospects. We believe weak consumption trends, a downbeat labor market and continuing property sector headwinds should all weigh on the economy in the coming quarters.

China Growth Could Slow Amid Limited Policy Options

In response to the recent China equity market rout, policymakers vowed last week to stabilize the market through more forceful measures. Despite a very positive initial market reaction (an 8% rebound in three days), deeper fundamental issues such as deflationary risks and lack of demand remain key concerns for China's economy.

This Week in ETFs: Closures Outnumber New ETFs

China's government is finally moving to stimulate the economy after its sluggish post-COVID reopening.

Restarting China's Economic Growth

Chinese stock prices have lost money in the 16 years since 2007 and are now back near 2005 levels. Chinese treasury bonds have rallied sharply as beaten-up capital capitulates out of riskier markets and back to the relative safety of government bonds.

India's potential for economic growth lies in its young population, business-friendly reforms, and technology sectors. To unlock this potential, India needs long-term policies to address structural constraints and short-term infrastructure investments.

Mainland Chinese economy shows signs of regaining growth momentum in November, with higher output, new orders, and improved business conditions. Business expectations remain below average, leading to job cuts for the third consecutive month.

China PMI Signals Tentative Growth Revival, Prices Edge Higher

PMI data for October showed momentum in China's economy waned following recent improvements in hard activity data. By industry type, most manufacturing sectors experienced a slowdown in growth in October, though for companies that are heavy consumers of energy, activity actually declined slightly, perhaps affected by recent increases in the prices of crude energy.

China: Momentum Waned In October

KraneShares CICC China Leaders 100 Index ETF

September's inflation data remind us that despite some firming in activity indicators recently, China's economic recovery remains challenged, and is perhaps behind recent rumours of a slightly more accommodative approach to central government deficits. One month does not constitute a trend, however, and the base effect story, which we believe will slowly lift Chinese inflation over the coming months, is still in play.

The IMF, the World Bank, and the United Nations all rank China and Japan as the second and third largest economies on the planet. More of what is occurring in the markets should reflect what is happening in China and Japan which are strongly linked economically.

China Could Derail Japan's Fragile Recovery

While China's economy is still struggling, it is at least not getting incrementally worse and there are some pockets of improvement. Exports continue to decline in year-on-year terms, but the rates of decline are decreasing.

How China Is Dodging The Doom Loop

As China accelerates stimulus across multiple sectors, its sluggish economy is showing early signs of recovery, boding well for the A-share market. For most of 2023, sentiment toward China's A-share market has been weak.

China Focus: Are Investors Being Too Pessimistic?

While slower growth in China will impact the global economy and financial markets, we think the short-term pain is necessary to avoid bigger problems down the road. China's economy is in the early stages of a long-term transition away from an export-driven, investment-led model toward a more balanced one with more domestic consumption.

China's Growth Is Slowing: What Does It Mean?

China's economic performance has been extremely disappointing since the lifting of lockdowns late last year. While diverse, much of the financial stress and deepening economic weakness can be traced back to the malfunctioning property sector.

China's Property Slump Takes Center Stage

China's economic troubles, including the Evergrande bankruptcy, could lead to a global credit collapse. The Chinese government is in a difficult position, trying to revive the economy while defending the yuan.

China Could Be A Ticking Time Bomb

Many investors have been dumping China equities over the last couple of years, often in favor of other markets like India. In fact, based on MSCI data, China is trading at a forward price-to-earnings multiple of about 10.1 — exactly half that of the U.S., at 20.2.

China, U.S. Have Wide Valuation Gap Between Them

Falling sales in Asia's real estate sector are causing short interest to increase, putting pressure on property developers. China's property industry, historically a key driver of economic growth, is facing challenges due to softening economic data and increased short selling.

Short Interest Climbs Higher Across The Asia Real Estate Management And Development Sector

Talk of deflation for China is well wide of the mark, and obsessing over historical growth rates misses the point that 5% growth is sustainable and about the right pace of growth for an economy of China's stage of development. China has had occasional and short-lived periods of excessive property price growth in the past, that is all.
