Chinese stocks are seeing red on Tuesday. Hong Kong’s Hang Seng Index (INDEX: HSI) plunged 9.41% in trading. That’s a stark comparison to the Shanghai SE Composite Index (INDEX: SSEC) which rose 4.59%.
However, Chinese ETFs are taking it on the chin in trading today. Here’s the performance of some of the most popular Chinese ETFs:
- iShares MSCI China ETF (Nasdaq: MCHI): Down 10.74% as of 10:45 a.m. ET
- iShares China Large-Cap ETF (NYSE: FXI): Down 8.84%
- KraneShares CSI China Internet ETF (NYSE: KWEB): Down 9.08%
On the other end of the spectrum, ETFs that are short Chinese equities are seeing outstanding returns. The Direxion Daily FTSE China Bear 3X Shares (NYSE: YANG) is up a remarkable 34.31% today.
Why are Chinese stocks plummeting today? China’s stock rallied on the promise of a powerful fiscal stimulus from the Chinese leadership. Chinese authorities had cut interest rates and announced a series of measures to support the economy.
However, specifics of what actions Chinese leadership intended to take have been very thin. On Tuesday, a press conference in Beijing announced few specifics around economic stimulus programs, which led to investors pulling out of stocks across the country.
