CSI 300 Sheds Over 2%, Offshore Investors Sell At Fastest Clip Of ‘23

CHINA STOCKS

The CSI 300 lost 2.3% on Friday, with the largest YtD daily net outflow via the Hong Kong-China Stock Connect schemes noted (~CNY12.3bn).

  • The index took out the 50-, 100- & 200-DMAs today, on disappointment re: policy support steps and headwinds for the property sector.
  • LGFV debt mitigation measures were seen as underwhelming.
  • Rhetoric from President Biden re: Chinese economic & demographic issues would not have helped.
  • Pipeline support for the property sector remains top of mind, with state media reports noting that China's four top-tier cities have submitted plans for related policy easing to the central gov’t and they will seemingly announce detailed measures from mid-Aug to early Sep.
  • Headlines surrounding the CSRC meeting with property developers were light on detail, flagging sales, debt and re-financing as major areas of discussion.
  • Troubled developer Country Garden moved to penny stock status in Hong Kong, with debt restructuring speculation swelling.
