Key Takeaways:

Powered by lumidawealth.com

  • Chinese equities have rallied nearly 25% since April, but analysts warn of potential selloffs as the U.S.-China trade truce ends in August and geopolitical tensions rise.
  • Investors are buying three-month puts on the iShares China Large-Cap ETF (FXI) to hedge against downside risks, with puts currently priced attractively due to subdued volatility.
  • U.S. warnings on Huawei’s AI chips and Trump’s unpredictable trade policies add to market uncertainty, while bullish calls on FXI remain in demand for potential upside.
  • Analysts are divided, with some expecting further gains if trade talks succeed, while others highlight significant tariff-related risks and corporate pessimism in China.

What Happened?

Chinese equities have rebounded strongly, gaining nearly 25% since April as U.S.-China trade tensions temporarily eased. However, analysts at 22V Research warn that the rally may be vulnerable to a selloff in the coming months, with key events such as the end of the trade truce in August, China’s Politburo meeting, and the potential passage of the U.S. tax-and-spending package looming.

To hedge against potential declines, investors are turning to three-month puts on the iShares China Large-Cap ETF (FXI), a popular U.S.-listed proxy for Chinese stocks. The ETF has experienced five swings of 25% or more in the past year, underscoring its volatility.

Meanwhile, cracks in the rally are emerging. U.S.-listed shares of PDD Holdings, the owner of e-commerce platform Temu, plunged 14% after an earnings miss. Additionally, U.S. warnings about Huawei’s AI chips signal further trade tensions, adding to the uncertainty.


Why It Matters?

The rally in Chinese equities reflects optimism about easing trade tensions, but the risks of renewed volatility are significant. Trump’s unpredictable trade policies and the potential for escalating tariffs could weigh heavily on Chinese stocks, making hedging strategies essential for investors.

The relatively low cost of puts, due to subdued volatility, presents an opportunity for investors to protect against downside risks. At the same time, demand for bullish calls highlights the potential for further gains if trade talks result in a favorable outcome.

The broader implications extend beyond Chinese equities, as the outcome of U.S.-China trade negotiations will influence global markets, currency movements, and corporate earnings.


What’s Next?

Investors should monitor key events, including the August trade truce deadline and China’s Politburo meeting, for signals on the direction of U.S.-China relations. The potential for Trump to delay tariff implementation adds another layer of complexity to hedging strategies.

While some analysts, like those at JPMorgan and Goldman Sachs, see room for further gains in Chinese equities, others caution that significant tariff-related risks remain. The unpredictability of U.S. trade policy will likely keep investor sentiment divided, with both bullish and bearish positions in play.

For now, the balance between hedging downside risks and positioning for potential upside will remain a key focus for market participants.
