foreign capital is bullish

well-known investment bank morgan stanley said on the 26th that from a technical perspective, china's csi 300 index may still have room for about 10% growth in the short term. this prediction is based on the bank's borrowing cost for china's refinancing plan (2.25%) analysis with the current dividend rate of the csi 300 index (2.46%).

morgan stanley strategist laura wang believes that the politburo meeting and the stimulus plan announced by the central bank and other regulators earlier this week are very positive. what really surprised the market were the market stabilization measures, which were unprecedented. the bank pointed out that the most important thing now is to follow up quickly and clarify the details and timetable of implementation and implementation.

scott rubner, managing director of goldman sachs' global markets department, said that the chinese stock market has been strong in recent days, with the nasdaq golden dragon index soaring 19% in the past four days. once the u.s. election is over, the chinese stock market should become an important part of investors' investment plans. scott rubner believes that the long-awaited recovery of china's stock market may finally be here, and if so, investors should want to get involved. "i really think this time is different for china. the resurgent market has quickly become a hot trade in november and december after the u.s. election," he wrote in a note to clients on thursday. he was referring to demand for call options expiring at the end of the year.

goldman sachs noted that before the recent rally, hedge funds had less than 7% exposure to chinese stocks, about the lowest level in five years. but earlier this week, they reversed course and piled into china's stock market, with tuesday's single-day net buying the largest since march 2021 and the first in the past decade. the second largest single-day net buying volume.

david chao, global market strategist for asia pacific (excluding japan) at global investment management company invesco, said this may be a good time to re-examine chinese stocks. china has launched a meaningful monetary stimulus plan, and if it is fully implementation could bring trillions of yuan in liquidity and send a strong signal that the government is dealing with economic headwinds. with chinese markets closed next week for the golden week holiday, domestic investors may be concerned that hong kong stocks may continue to rise while they are away. he said, "as the chinese stock market has risen by nearly 10% in the past three days, investors' fomo (fear of missing out) is high. based on historical valuations, there is still 20% room for the chinese stock market to rise."
