Beijing’s stockpile fell to US$682.6 billion in November, down from US$688.7 billion in October, according to...

3 d. ago Hong Kong, China stocks to outpace US equities all year after quick start, analysts say

Hong Kong and mainland Chinese stocks outpaced their US peers for the first two weeks of 2026 and should continue to do so for the rest of the year on the back of relatively cheaper valuations, a firmer yuan and policy tailwinds, as geopolitics drives more global investors to look to China as a hedge against rising risks in US assets, according to analysts.
