China's stock rebound from bear market on suspected state buying and AI buybacks
Overview
The CSI 300 Index rose 1 per cent to 4,075.44 on Friday, reversing an early 2 per cent drop after entering a bear market the day before.
The South China Morning Post reports that surging turnover in several major ETFs suggests Central Huijin Investment and other state-backed funds may have bought shares to stem losses, though the source does not confirm it. The ChiNext 50 index gained 2.9 per cent after the three largest makers of optical transceivers for AI data centres announced share buy-back plans or said operations were normal.
A later Guardian report, citing Bloomberg, says China's STAR 50 Index has fallen 40% since June and the broader Chinese market has lost $2.4tn since May. Goldman Sachs says AI stocks make up over 40% of stock market value in China and Hong Kong. Analysts cite thin profit margins, rising US rates, weak domestic demand and the threat of US technology bans as reasons for the sell-off.
