To The Moon

Although the Shanghai Composite Index is at a 10-year high, CSI 300 still remains about 20% below their 2021 peaks. The total trading volume of A-shares broke 3 trillion yuan. The last time total market turnover exceeded 3 trillion yuan was on October 8 last year, reaching 3.4 trillion yuan. Institutions raise forecasts for the A-share market HSBC raised its China index targets: Shanghai Composite by the end of 2025 from 3,700 to 4,000 points, CSI 300 from 4,300 to 4,600 points. $Morgan Stanley(MS)$’s China Strategy Chief Laura she remains bullish, expecting the CSI 300 to reach 4,700 points. $JPMorgan Chase(JPM)$ predicts a 35% upside for the MSCI China Index and 24% for the CSI 300, with strong prospects for media & entertainment and biotech sectors. Could households’ excess savings continue to drive the Chinese stock market higher? Household financial assets are massive, nearing 300 trillion yuan in the first half of 2025, but the proportion allocated to stocks has steadily declined since 2021. It is estimated that if 1% of household financial assets were reallocated to equities, it would bring an incremental inflow of about 3 trillion yuan. Historically, A-share bull markets have been driven by retail inflows. While the household savings ratio relative to total market value has recently decreased, it remains historically high. If market sentiment intensifies, retail exuberance could drive A-shares significantly higher. Foreign capital inflows Last week, foreign hot money flowed into China at the fastest pace since July, mainly through long positions. On Tuesday, signs of longer-term buying were also observed. Notably, this foreign capital mainly targeted the A-share market. Trading data show that China and India are among the few Asian markets attracting net inflows. With liquidity recovering, trading volume for small-cap indices like CSI 2000 began to decline, while mid-cap indices like CSI 500 saw volumes rise. Which ETFs to invest in?
