Chinese markets are expected to open positively after a holiday break, with Beijing’s supportive policies driving momentum. The Nasdaq Golden Dragon China Index saw an 8.5% jump during the break, hinting at potential gains on the mainland. The onshore yuan may track the offshore unit, as Chinese assets attract investor interest with earnings recovery and policy support. Foreign funds are returning to Chinese and Hong Kong stocks, with Bank of America Securities suggesting that the worst in fund outflows has passed. Hong Kong shares rallied during the break, showing strong global investor appetite. Analysts expect positive holiday data to sustain the stock rally, particularly in travel and consumption sectors. Chinese equities will respond to the Politburo’s statement, leading to a more positive outlook from analysts. The offshore yuan strengthened against the dollar, supported by a more favorable global environment. The yuan’s rally may continue in the short term as foreign investors show less bearish sentiment towards Chinese assets.
