Chinese markets were mixed on Wednesday but they had a rough start to the week. The Hang Seng was down 4.1% on Monday and 4.5% on Tuesday. The Shanghai Composite Index was down 2.3% and 2.5%, respectively. Although the Hang Seng bounced back Wednesday (the SSE was not as lucky), investors are still dumping Chinese stocks. One of the major players cleaning up their portfolio is Cathie Wood.
Despite the sell-off on Monday and Tuesday, some of these stocks are bouncing back with force. Whether this will persist remains to be seen, but for now investors seem to be crowding back into some of these names early on Wednesday.
Precipitating the drop earlier this week was a summit between China and the United States regarding the state of trade between these economic superpowers. As it stands now, there seems to be a “stalemate” between these two nations and they could be facing “serious difficulties,” leaving investors unsure of what’s to come.
At the same time, China’s antitrust regulator slapped a fine on Tencent for anti-competitive behavior, shaking confidence in major Chinese internet companies. DiDi was the victim of this recently as well.
All this, and perhaps more, has lead ETF superstar Cathie Wood to reconsider some of ARK Invest’s holdings.
