Goldman and BlackRock’s Insight on Chinese Stocks’ $4.5 Trillion Rally: From Unloved to Attractive Amid Beijing’s Surprise Stimulus

Goldman and BlackRock join the conversation as Chinese shares lose their previously unpopular status in a US$4.5 trillion surge. Chinese shares transition from being ignored during the pandemic to becoming 'appealing' and 'persuasive' following Beijing's unexpected stimulus bombardment.

The credibility of Beijing's policy is under threat, says UK investment firm Abrdn. BlackRock highlighted that the absence of specifics about potential benefits could tarnish the story. It falls on the shoulders of China's legislative standing committee to fulfill the raised expectations when they convene later this month or the next.

Upsurge or downfall: how enduring is China's stock market craze?

Here are a few insights about the future of Chinese stocks from various global investment firms and banks.

BlackRock: The recent situation in China serves as a reminder of how low-priced stock evaluations can ignite a market rally when a triggering event occurs, according to the financial management company based in New York, as stated in their report. The stimulus signal from China has led the company to take a "slightly heavier" position, particularly due to the low evaluations.

Stocks in China have greatly increased since the September Politburo gathering, fueled by the anticipation that significant financial incentives might be forthcoming, according to a report by strategist Wei Li and his team at BlackRock Institute on October 14. The absence of specific information so far has let down some investors, hence we are closely watching policy declarations for further details.

Information has been limited, thus our perspective may shift if future updates fall short of expectations. We continue to believe that China is confronted with enduring, systemic issues such as economic and geopolitical rivalry with the West, state debt, and an aging population.
