China A Shares

The CSI 300 rose 1.24% this week on higher volume and remains in a Confirmed Uptrend with three distribution days. The finalization of terms of a phase one China-U.S. trade deal significantly boosted market sentiment. China’s stronger-than-expected November economic data signaled that government’s policies seem to be taking effect, improving investors’ risk appetite. The CSI 300 was trading constructively after decisively breaking above the previous November’s high and is testing the next resistance at April’s high (~4,100). We are hopeful the index holds above support at ~3,925. Due to heavy selling pressure approaching April’s high, we expect the index to consolidate around ~4,020 in the near term. Investors need to remain disciplined and avoid extended ideas as volatility increases near the area of intense pressure. The Technology and Capital Equipment sectors were leading while Health Care stocks have been lagging our Focus List for a month. Health Care remains weak and we advise investors to trim positions. We recommend accumulating positions in stocks with decisive breakouts from solid bases or key support levels. Profits earned by China’s major industrial firms in November, another important economic indicator, are expected to be released next Friday.
