- Nio Inc (NIO): -4.58%
- Alibaba Group (BABA): -4.47%
- JD.Com (JD): -6.28%
- Li Auto Inc (LI): -4.62%
Investors are cautious about the timing and direction of China’s economic stimulus.
Market Indexes: The CSI 300 index fell by 2.66% to 3,855.99, and Hong Kong’s Hang Seng index dropped by 3.67% to 20,318.79, following disappointing trade data from China.
Economic Context: China is considering issuing 6 trillion yuan (about $850 billion) in special treasury bonds to stimulate the economy amidst concerns over local government debt. However, confidence in these measures has declined.
