Core Viewpoint - Korean investors are increasingly buying Chinese stocks, with a monthly trading volume of $782 million in February, nearly doubling from the previous month, marking the highest level since August 2022 [3]. Group 1: Market Performance - The Korean Composite Index has declined by 5% over the past year, while the CSI 300 has increased by 10.8% during the same period [5][6]. - The depreciation of the Korean won provides additional currency gains for Korean investors when converting to invest in A-shares [7]. Group 2: Investment Trends - Korean pension funds are gradually reducing their domestic stock allocations, aiming to lower it to 15% by 2025 [9]. - The negative correlation between Chinese and Asian stock markets is evident, with historical data showing a clear inverse relationship [14][28]. Group 3: Influence of Wall Street - Wall Street's investment strategy prioritizes long-term planning, which influences capital allocation across global markets, leading to a zero-sum game in Asian stock markets [23][24]. - Despite the limited absolute capital from Wall Street in Asia, its perceived expertise causes significant market reactions due to herd behavior [27]. Group 4: Current Market Dynamics - The recent bullish sentiment towards Chinese stocks has attracted substantial follow-on investments from Korean investors [32]. - However, the withdrawal of foreign capital from Hong Kong stocks raises concerns about the sustainability of this trend [34]. Group 5: Valuation Concerns - The recent rise in Hong Kong stocks is primarily driven by valuation increases, which inherently heightens risk [36]. - The speculative nature of A-share valuations, particularly in sectors like robotics and semiconductors, poses additional risks [39]. Group 6: Long-term Market Confidence - The long-term growth of the A-share market relies on domestic policy support, economic growth, and investor confidence [50].
