China Market Collapse Resumes As Government Fails To Put Brakes On Stock Dump
Portfolio Pulse from Neil Dennis
Chinese stock markets continued their decline with the Hang Seng index dropping 2.3% and the Shanghai Composite by 1.8%. Hang Lung Properties and Longfor Properties saw significant losses. Despite a short-selling ban by the China Securities Regulatory Commission, the sell-off persisted, driven by investors exiting the market rather than hedge funds. U.S.-listed ETFs like the iShares MSCI China ETF experienced net outflows, with MCHI losing a third of its value over the past year. Market analysts attribute the downturn to political factors and trade tensions rather than economic issues. Tim Seymour expressed a cautious stance on China, highlighting state control over companies like Tencent and Alibaba.
