Chinese officials continue to make moves that highlight an eagerness to boost equity markets. The latest is from the Chinese Commerce Ministry:

  • Adjusts lookup period for foreign investors to 12 months from 3 years
  • Will allow foreign investors to carry out strategic investment in the form of tender offers
  • Lowest asset requirements for foreign investors who are not controlling shareholders
  • To allow foreign investors to carry out strategic investments in listed companies

I don't think these move the needle on stocks but they're part of a bigger package that points to Beijing's determination to boost stock markets.

If you look at the MCHI ETF, it's been dangerously consolidating after the big spike last month.
