Is Investing In China A Good Idea Right Now? 'It's Complicated,' Say Morgan Stanley Analysts
Portfolio Pulse from Natan Ponieman
Morgan Stanley analysts have issued a report on the Chinese market, stating that it's a complicated time to invest. China's economic growth is lagging behind expectations, and domestic demand has not convincingly recovered. However, holding a share of the Chinese market can be a good way to diversify a U.S.-heavy portfolio. The report also downgraded the MSCI China Index to Equal Weight. Despite the challenges, the analysts see potential for the Chinese economy. U.S.-listed ETFs focused on the Chinese market, including iShares MSCI China ETF (NASDAQ:MCHI), KraneShares CSI China Internet ETF (NYSE:KWEB), Xtrackers Harvest CSI 300 China A-Shares ETF (NYSE:ASHR), SPDR S&P China ETF (NYSE:GXC), and Invesco China Technology ETF (NYSE:CQQQ), are up.
