At the beginning of 2024, a slew of foreign financial institutions are bullish on Chinese stock market and have upgraded their ratings1. Meanwhile, the northbound fund flows have been positive for three months in a row since February, hit a new record high in April, indicating strong overseas investment interest in A-share2. Analysis suggests that China’s stock market is benefiting from four major tailwind factors: the “national team” purchasing A-share ETFs to boost funds and confidence; the introduction of the once-in-a-decade new ‘Nine Guidelines for Capital Market’ policy, and the A-share buybacks and dividends continue to accumulate; quarterly GDP growth in China has beat expectations, with steady earnings recovery; the price-earnings ratio of the CSI 300 index is lower than its 20-year historical average, making A-share highly attractive for investment3.
