CHINA: *** MSCI Inclusion Among Factors Supporting A Shares Yesterday
- The relevant MSCI indices lifted their China A-share inclusion factor to 15%
from 10% after yesterday's cash equity close. This move came after an
announcement that laid out the increase earlier this month.
- Estimates suggest that the move will result in ~4.5bn worth of passive inflows
filtering into A-shares.
- Positive Chinese Industrial profits data and Monday's Wall St. rally also
helped Chinese equities on the day.
- However, the most notable takeaway was that foreigners lodged the largest
round of net A-share buying via the Hong Kong-Shanghai & Hong-Kong Shenzhen
stock connect programmes since early December, with CNY 11.27bn worth of inflows
into A-shares evident, and likely linked to the adjustment in the MSCI inclusion
factor outlined above.
