China's stimulus plan head lead to big fund flows in ETFs. The trend towards private asset ETFs continues to gain steam.

Where The Money Is Flowing In ETFs After China's Stimulus Package

CSOP FTSE China A50 ETF

China's policymakers have announced a significant package of easing measures designed to lift China from a state of entrenched economic weakness. The reception from global markets has been very positive so far, with the CSI 300 Index and the Shanghai Composite Index erasing all of their losses year-to-date.

China's Policy Measures: A Pivotal Week?

Data largely came in weaker than already cautious forecasts, and with a less supportive base effect, we will need to see a significant stimulus push to reach this year's growth target. Looking at the output of industrial products, we can see the clear impact of the property market decline play out.

China's Data Dump Shows That Time Is Running Out To Achieve This Year's Growth Target

The Shenzhen A shares index, a bellwether of mainland Chinese equities, is down 32 percent from its 2-year high set in February of last year. China's demographic problems begin and end with its dependency ratio - the number of retirees relative to the working population.

China In 3D

Chinese companies are being encouraged to return cash to shareholders - and are finding good reasons to do so. Regulators are encouraging companies to focus on shareholder returns, and changing macroeconomic conditions are making it easier for Chinese companies to pay dividends. Given the risks, we think an active investing approach is especially important when investing in high-dividend Chinese stocks.

Chinese Equities: How Investors Can Unlock The Power Of Dividends

The latest figures published by the People's Bank of China show that credit and liquidity are stalling as demand for new loans declines. Deteriorating confidence in China's prospects explains why households prefer paying down debts while companies borrow less.

China's Stalling Credit Market Signals an Era Of Stagnation

Data came in generally in line or slightly weaker than forecasts, as weak confidence continued to depress investment and consumption. New home prices fell by -0.65% MoM in July, compared to a -0.67% MoM drop in June.

China's Key Growth Indicators Continue To Present A Case For Further Policy Easing

China has been hit with two major crises as their financial and real estate sectors collapse simultaneously. Deflation, unemployment, divestiture, and lowered consumption are affecting all levels of society, with young, urban populations affected the most.

The Chinese Economy Is In Trouble, Here Are The Warning Signs

New aggregate financing and loans both missed forecasts again in July amid high real interest rates and limited borrowing appetite. New RMB loans fell into contraction at RMB 770.8bn, lowering the year-to-date new increase of RMB loans to RMB 12.38tn, a 20.9% YoY decline.

China's Credit Activity Remained Weak In July

China's stock market has been mired in a long and steady downtrend for several years. In February, there was a brief respite from the selling as the Shanghai Composite bounced just over 20% through May, the rally was capped at the knees with a 7.6% decline over the next five weeks.

China Struggles

The People's Bank of China kept the one-year medium-term lending facility rate unchanged at 2.5% today, in line with market expectations. We believe that in conjunction with today's data releases and the start of rate cuts in other central banks such as the European Central Bank and Bank of Canada, the odds of a PBoC rate cut in the coming months have risen.

China's Sluggish May Economic Data To Increase Calls For Rate Cuts

Key economic indicators are mixed in China and, in fact, were mostly weaker than expected last month. So, policymakers are now stepping up support for the property sector in particular.

Concerns about “overcapacity” arise primarily for goods linked to high-wage jobs, not for low-wage industries like clothing or toys. China sees its success as a result of a system that blends state coordination with market forces.

China and Hong Kong markets had a humbling 2023 with equities down more than 10%. Beijing has also begun stepping up tourism and travel promotions, granting visa-free entry to 11 countries, with Singapore and Thailand the latest to be included.

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.
