SOUTHBOUND was again a net buyer, for HK$19.2bn this week, on smallish two-way volumes. Tencent and ETFs stood out as large net buys.
I've thought national team was buying banks for months. This week, no banks showed in the top five net buys, and only 1 in the top ten.
It is somewhat perplexing that the flows just stopped. But that may be a sign of things to come. Confirmation may require a week or two.

<li>AH Premia are all over the place this week. Despite that, pairwise intracorrelation is.... up? Yup. Average Pairwise Volatility is up even more.</li>
<li>Some of this may be stocks being bullied by large SOUTHBOUND flows in a quieter end-of-year market. </li>
<li>Finance is seeing big net SOUTHBOUND buying but that is not showing up in A/H premia. I expect things stay noisy through year-end.</li>
