Key Takeaways

Powered by lumidawealth.com

  1. Chinese investors are heavily investing in Saudi ETFs due to domestic market struggles.
  2. New Saudi ETFs surged 30% in three days, highlighting high demand.
  3. China-Saudi economic ties are strengthening, making Saudi investments more appealing.

What Happened?

Chinese investors are flocking to Saudi Arabian stocks, driven by two new exchange-traded funds (ETFs) focused on major Saudi companies like Aramco and Saudi National Bank. These ETFs, managed by China Southern Asset Management and Huatai-Pinebridge Investment, soared up to 30% within their first three days of trading.

Despite warnings from fund managers about trading risks, the ETFs still traded at premiums of 20% over their net asset values before ending the day lower but above their debut levels. This surge comes as China’s equities markets, like Shanghai’s benchmark index up by just 0.1% and Shenzhen down by 13%, struggle amid a weak domestic economy and lackluster consumer spending.

Why It Matters?

The enthusiasm for Saudi stocks underscores a significant shift in Chinese investor behavior. As Jun Rong Yeap, a market strategist at IG, noted, China’s equity markets “remain gloomy amid the lack of conviction for a more sustained economic recovery.” This pessimism is pushing investors to seek opportunities overseas, particularly in Saudi Arabia, where economic and business ties with China are strengthening.

Deals worth more than $50 billion were signed during President Xi Jinping’s visit to Riyadh in 2022, and recent investments like Baoshan Iron & Steel’s $4 billion factory with Aramco highlight this growing relationship. Analysts believe these strong ties may mitigate some geopolitical risks associated with Western markets, making Saudi investments more attractive.

What’s Next?

Expect continued interest in Saudi ETFs and other overseas investments as Chinese investors seek to diversify and mitigate risks associated with a stagnant domestic market. Watch for further developments in China-Saudi economic collaborations, especially as they bolster capital markets and joint ventures.

Given the rising tensions between China and the U.S., Chinese investors may increasingly favor Middle Eastern markets, potentially driving further growth in Saudi equities. Additionally, keep an eye on any regulatory changes in China that might impact the flow of investments abroad, as well as the performance of these new ETFs in the coming months.
