Chinese Stocks Pull Back After Red-Hot Rally  The Wall Street Journal

Investing.com -- Chinese stocks fell on Thursday following a recent rally, with semiconductor and tech hardware stocks leading the decline. The ChiNext Index, China’s Nasdaq-like board, dropped 4.25%, marking its largest one-day loss since April. The pullback comes after Chinese equities had been gaining momentum over the past month, driven by solid corporate earnings, advances in artificial intelligence, and policy initiatives from Beijing, including efforts to reduce competition and overcapacity. The Shanghai Composite Index had reached a 10-year high in August, while the Hang Seng Index recorded its best monthly performance since September last year, when China announced a major stimulus package. Easing trade tensions had contributed to a positive market sentiment, prompting investors to move funds from deposit accounts and bonds into stocks. Market analysts suggest the Thursday decline may represent a correction, with concerns that Chinese regulators might step in to moderate excessive market movements.

SHANGHAI (Reuters) -Chinese stocks are at decade highs after a rally powered by support from state-backed institutions and bigger investors, with retail money slowly making their way back into shares providing a fresh tail wind. Investors have so far shrugged off the anaemic economic recovery in China and, while Shanghai stocks are at levels not seen since 2015. Analysts point to relatively low valuations and ample dry powder as reasons for the rally to continue. They expect retail investors to gradually rotate out of low-yielding deposits into stocks. The Shanghai Composite Index is up about 25% from April lows. Here are some charts on China’s stock markets. 1/ SOARING MARGIN FINANCING Outstanding margin financing reached 2.18 trillion yuan ($304.77 billion), the highest level since mid-2015, while the earnings yield for Chinese stocks are higher than those from Chinese bonds. 2/ COMING IN HOT Stock investments by Chinese insurers, mutual funds and ETFs are up as regulators nudge institutional investors into the share market. The metrics suggest that the rally this time around is being driven by local long-term investors and not fast money. 3/ WEALTHY INVESTORS ON THE WAY Newly-registered private securities funds in July hit the highest level by size since late 2021, suggesting high net worth investors are also entering the market. 4/ BUT RETAIL AND FOREIGN MONEY STILL ON THE FENCE 3rd party Ad. Not an offer or recommendation by Investing.com. See disclosure here or remove ads. Data shows retail investors are not rushing to open new accounts, while foreign investors have also not invested heavily in China onshore stocks so far this year. That also suggests, according to some analysts, there is still ample money sitting on the sidelines that could jump in.

HONG KONG (Reuters) -Hedge funds focused on Chinese equities posted double-digit returns in the first half of the year, outperforming global peers, fuelled by a rebound in Hong Kong stocks and bets on artificial intelligence and "new consumption" firms. Some fund managers said their more agile use of hedging tools also helped cushion losses during the market turmoil in April, triggered by U.S. President Donald Trump’s announcement of "reciprocal tariffs" on all trading partners. The Greater China Equities Hedge Fund Index tracked by With Intelligence delivered a 15% gain in the first half, topping the hedge fund data platform’s regional and strategy benchmarks. Hong Kong- and Shenzhen-based Triata Capital rose 45% in the first six months and 62% by July 15, following a 19% gain in 2024. The $1.2 billion hedge fund has reaped rewards from its concentrated bets on undervalued AI software, data centers, internet platforms, and selected consumer stocks such as education and hotels. "Even following this year’s news on DeepSeek, we still see underappreciated upside in China’s AI software space," said Sean Ho, founder and chief investment officer at Triata, which leverages a significant amount of alternative data. Many internet companies’ new business lines, empowered by AI technology, "present pure upside optionality." Hong Kong’s Hang Seng Index and MSCI China jumped 20% and 16%, respectively, in the first six months, among the world’s best performers. The rally extended into July, with previously lagging mainland stocks catching up. The Shanghai Composite Index just hit a new high for the year this week. FountainCap Research & Investment capitalised on what it calls "cute economy", or companies that offer emotionally engaging products aimed at young consumers. The $2 billion firm’s flagship long-only fund was up 22% from January to June. "Obviously Pop Mart is the best representation of this, but other things like pet care would fall under this too," said Steven Luk, CEO of FountainCap. Shares of "blind box" toymaker Pop Mart, FountainCap’s top holding, have surged roughly 200% so far this year. The first half was not smooth sailing. Trump’s unexpected tariff announcement and China’s immediate countermeasures, sent shockwaves through global markets in early April. That triggered a 13% plunge in the Hang Seng Index on April 7 — its steepest single-day drop since 1997. Still, prolonged geopolitical uncertainties have prompted Chinese fund managers to sharpen their use of hedging tools. "We had rapidly increased hedging positions and significantly reduced net exposure of our portfolio during this period of wild market volatility," Hong Kong-based Golden Nest Capital said in its June newsletter. That helped the fund, which targets high-quality, low-volatility returns, record a 12th consecutive month of positive returns. SILENT BULL MARKET While near-term volatility may rise as the deadline for a U.S.-China tariff truce approaches, fund managers are staying bullish. FountainCap’s Luk described the current China market as a "silent bull market", noting that global capital has yet to return and Chinese company valuations remain low relative to developed market peers. Geopolitical tension is also abating. "It seems the market is pricing in gradual improvements, with little attention paid to the tariff deadline," Luk said. Simon Hopkins, CEO of Singapore-based Milltrust International Group, a hedge fund allocator, said he plans to increase exposure to China in the second half, drawn by the country’s AI innovations and precision manufacturing capabilities. "There is going to be a huge recognition that Chinese technology is a place that is going to attract a lot of capital," he said. "The U.S. dominance in that area is being undone."
