four strengths of China’s assets
Where does foreign capital come from to China’s capital market? Why do you think A-Shares are attractive? Over the past few months, foreign investors have generally remained cautious about China’s stock market, but they have begun to change their attitude slowly and expect the Chinese government to support economic growth. data treasure preliminarily supports the judgment of foreign investment from the four dimensions of valuation, asset allocation, economy and monetary policy.
1. The valuation of the A-share market index is about half of that of the Dow
Although some stock valuations are seriously overestimated or even bubble, the valuation of the A share market index has always been relatively low, which is a phenomenon that A share market has been in existence for many years.
