China ETP Weekly Review and Cycle-Based ETF Sector Outlook

Summary

This report reviews Chinese market and exchange-traded product developments for the week of March 30 to April 3, 2020. It summarizes moves in domestic equity indexes, bond yields, precious metals, currencies, and traded ETP categories. Equity and cross-border products showed mixed performance, bond ETPs generally did better, and precious-metal ETPs rose. It also highlights notable changes in ETF and listed open-ended fund shares, alongside several products newly listed during the week.

The report then uses a cycle-model interpretation to suggest that China’s economy may be moving from a short-cycle trough toward recovery, with potential support for cyclical stocks. It also points to policy support for new infrastructure, including communications and semiconductor-related sectors, and names ETFs for consideration. These are historical observations and a dated market outlook, not a tested trading strategy. The report warns that patterns derived from past data may not persist and that its discussion does not constitute investment advice; it provides no model specification or forecast accuracy evidence.
