China's Market Rescue: A Bold $278 Billion Stabilization Plan In Play Amid Deepening Crisis
Portfolio Pulse from Piero Cingari
China is reportedly preparing a $278 billion stabilization fund to support its stock market, drawing from state-owned enterprises' offshore accounts and local funds. The fund will purchase shares onshore through the Hong Kong exchange link. This move comes as the CSI 300 Index hit a five-year low and foreign investors have been exiting the Chinese equity market. The Hang Seng index, tracked by the iShares MSCI Hong Kong Index Fund (EWH), surged by 2.6%, while onshore Chinese stocks saw a modest gain. Premarket trading in the US showed increases for Chinese stocks listed on US exchanges, including Alibaba (BABA), PDD Holdings (PDD), Baidu (BIDU), NIO (NIO), and Li Auto (LI).
