CITIC International strategist Yan Zhaojun stated that against the backdrop of the A-share and Hong Kong stock market holidays, the surge in the Hong Kong stock market trading volume perfectly reflects the characteristics of foreign capital and local Hong Kong funds entering the market successively due to fear of missing out.
Can we expect the future market?
As the trading frenzy intensifies with the 'bet on China', market observers have noticed funds from other Asian regions flowing back into the Chinese stock market.
Market observers indicate that funds which previously left the Chinese stock market for Japan and Southeast Asian stock markets are set to return. Last week saw net outflows from the stock markets of South Korea, Indonesia, Malaysia, and Thailand; BNP Paribas revealed that over $20 billion had been withdrawn from the Japanese stock market in the first three weeks of September. Eric Yee, Senior Portfolio Manager at Singapore's Atlantis Investment Management, mentioned reducing long positions in Asia to fund investments in Chinese stocks.
According to Bloomberg's latest interviews and surveys, Mount Lucas Management, a hedge fund from the United States, has established bullish positions on Chinese ETFs, while GAO Capital from Singapore and Timefolio Asset Management from South Korea have been buying Chinese blue-chip stocks.
In addition, market research institution DataTrek Research stated that, based on history, Chinese stocks still have room for growth.
The institution mentioned that comparing the relative performance of iShares Core MSCI China Index ETF (FXI) and SPDR S&P 500 Index ETF Trust (SPY) within a 100-day time frame, during years such as 2009, 2015, and 2023 with positive policy shifts, Chinese stocks outperformed U.S. stocks by over 30 percentage points, while currently only leading by 13 percentage points.
CITIC Securities' Chief Strategy Analyst Chen Guo believes that in this round of confidence reassessment, low PB companies in the Chinese stock market will be systematically reassessed, especially when the market confirms confidence in the bottom line of the Chinese economic and financial system and the absence of systemic risks, and confirms confidence that China can overcome the debt cycle deflation. Then, the Chinese stock market will no longer show a large number of companies with low PB or even lower PB.
