China sees a reflow in Equities after nine weeks - ANZ
FXStreet (Barcelona) - The FX Strategy Team at ANZ, shares the Asia-Pacific Equity and Bond market fund flow data for the week ending 15 April 2015.
Key Quotes
“Fund flows reversed to register an inflow of USD1,390m after last week’s USD1,082m of outflow. The reversal was driven primarily by a reflow of fund into China equities.”
“China equities have been the predominant driver of the region’s fund flows in recent weeks. For this week, China equity flows reversed to register an inflow of USD225m against last week’s large outflow of USD2,037m. This is the first time in nine weeks that foreign investors bought into China equities given that the SHCOMP index has been breaking new highs. Foreign investors were wary about a possible market correction, but concerns may have eased on expectations that the government might support growth by easing policy given the weak March activity data. Meanwhile, other Asian equity markets continued to see inflows.”
“In bonds, the Emerging Asia region saw a modest increase in inflows to USD100m from USD53m, led by Indonesia, which registered USD71m of inflows from USD24m. This is the highest level of inflows since late February, likely boosted by a surprisingly strong trade balance.”
