Exchange-traded funds that target Chinese equities were surging on Tuesday as Beijing reportedly weighs a support package for its struggling stock market. The iShares MSCI China ETF and KraneShares CSI China Internet ETF were both up significantly, indicating investor optimism. Chinese authorities are considering measures to rescue the equities market, including offshore money for a stabilization fund. The market slump is attributed to China’s property woes, demographic challenges, disappointing growth, and potential regulatory activity. Despite Tuesday’s jump, other Chinese ETFs are still down in 2024.
