Chinese protests and HK50
Chinese imports and export plummeted due to Covid-19 restrictions. The current trade activity is the lowest since 2020, with a 10.6% year-on-year decrease in imports and an 8.7% decrease in export. Also, because of protests across the country, Chinese President Xi said the Omicron variant is less dangerous, giving hopes for further relief in lockdowns.
As for the primary gauge of the Chinese economy, the HK50 index, it’s moving under the critical trendline and 200-daily MA. As strict measures loosen, we will likely see a breakout and a bullish wave over the following weeks. On the other hand, a further tightening of the Covid—19 policy would mean the HK50 plunge to 17 000.
