On Tuesday the CSI2000 was down 7.16% after a report from the CSRC, however they since clarified and said the latest delisting rules would target “zombie” listed companies but not small-cap stocks in the index, the tighter delisting rules also won’t have an impact on the market in the short term. The index has rebounded the majority of Tuesday sell-off to be up 5.50% today, although is still down around over 8% the past week, versus the CSI300 which is unchanged over the same time. Elsewhere, China's banks may become a focus today after Fitch revises down outlooks.
