Happy Chinese New Year! Today is the first day of the Chinese New Year and it’s the year of the Rooster. This celebration actually started on Friday, New Year’s Eve and goes on for a couple of weeks. It is also called the Spring Festival. I talk about this more in a previous post.
The stock markets in China were closed on Friday and won’t open again until next Friday. The Hong Kong Stock Exchange is closed on Monday and Tuesday.
In the Asia Update video below I review the China’s Shanghai Composite Index, Hong Kong’s Hang Seng Index and the China Large Cap ETF (FXI). FXI is designed to have almost all of its assets devoted to stocks trading in the FTSE China 50 Index.
The FTSE China 50 Index is made up of large cap Chinese equites that trade on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange. Therefore the FXI more closely resembles the Hang Seng Index.
This week I also review 2 very actively traded Chinese ADRs, Alibaba (BABA) and JD.com (JD). I’ve created a list of 8 actively traded Chinese stocks and plan to review 2 each week. Next week I will look at SINA and VipShop (VIPS).
Also in today’s video I look at India’s Nifty 50 and Japan’s Nikkei 225.
Dragon Boat Festival
In this Asia update video I check in on the Shanghai Composite Index and Hong Kong’s Hang Seng Index. Activity is light this holiday shortened week for the Dragon Boat Festival.
I then evaluate JD.com (JD) which is an online direct sales company in China for electronics, home appliances and other products.
Brief video update on China’s Shanghai Composite Index plus 2 very actively traded Chinese stocks trading in the U.S.
