US-listed Chinese stocks rise as Fed uncertainty drives rotation from AI
US-listed Chinese stocks are benefiting from a rotation away from US equities and bonds amid confusion over the Federal Reserve's policy path. The Nasdaq Golden Dragon China Index, tracking the largest Chinese companies listed in the US, rose 1.7% since the Fed's July rate-decision meeting, bucking a broader sell-off. Wang Chen, partner at Xufunds Investment Management, noted that Chinese stocks trading in the US are not crowded trades or high-leveraged bets, and are now viewed as defensive plays in an uncertain market. This shift occurs as AI stocks slump, prompting investors to seek alternative assets.
