China ETFs On Watch Amid Drone Debacle, Big Outflows
Analyst Paul Weisbruch of Street One Financial brings investors his daily fund flows update, which today examines continued interest in the largest tech fund, as well as some bearish action in China-focused ETFs.
The QQQ (Nasdaq 100) has pulled in more than $2.5 billion in recent sessions, as we have mentioned in these recaps lately, and we have to point out that this recent move higher follows the meeting that occurred with top Tech executives and Presidential-elect Trump. Even top component AAPL (10.66%) is challenging its October highs after stumbling through most of November and early December.
Elsewhere, China has had a hard time lately amid the “U.S. Drone” headlines as benchmark ETF FXI (iShares China) is presently trading right on its 200 day MA, its lowest level since early August of this year. We have also seen March 34 put buyers in FXI, as investors are clearly concerned about more potential downside into the Spring and into the new Presidential administration.
We are closely watching this situation, as FXI is at critical levels here on this quick slide. YANG (Direxion Daily FTSE China Bear 3X) should be watched closely here as well, given that FXI has seen substantial outflows YTD (over $1.8 billion out), including $200 million in outflows in the trailing one month period.
