• Zhongsheng Group (881 HK) is in deletion zone and could be deleted. China Unicom Hong Kong (762 HK) could be added to the index as the highest ranked non-index constituent.
• Estimated one-way turnover at the rebalance is 2.14% resulting in a one-way trade of HK$1.38bn. Meituan (3690 HK), Alibaba Group (9988 HK) and Tencent (700 HK) will be capped higher.
• China Unicom Hong Kong (762 HK) is supported on its 50/100 day moving averages and could move higher. Zhongsheng Group (881 HK) has been trading below its moving averages.

• Tianju Dihe Technology, more commonly known as Juhe Data, filed to go public in Hong Kong. The company provides standard API services through its APIHub marketplace in China. 
• Tianju Dihe Technology plans to trade on the HKSE, and CITIC Securities is leading the IPO. The company was backed by JD Technology, a fintech unit of JD.com. 
• With a market leadership position and a mission to empower the digital economy with data technologies, I have no doubt that Tianju Dihe Technology will have a successful IPO.

• WuXi AppTec’s share price has performed well recently, mainly driven by CXO’s “immune attributes” to anti-corruption campaign, investors’ bullish view of weight loss drug business, and the previous oversold rebound.
• Peptide CDMO business would contribute limited incremental performance to WuXi AppTec considering overall large business volume.Downward trend of CRO business is hard to be hedged by weight loss drug business.
• Due to higher-for-longer rate, China CXOs only have rebound value, but no reversal logic. It’s time to consider taking profits in a timely manner before the share price falls again.

• US users of the popular SHEIN and Temu shopping apps tend to be relatively young
• Compared to older Americans, younger Americans (18-34) tend to have less political clout
• What does this mean for SHEIN and Temu, and how will they respond to political challenges?

• Nearing the end of the review period, we forecast 8 changes for the ChiNext Index (SZ399006 INDEX) and 5 changes for the ChiNext 50 Index in December.
• Given stock selection uses liquidity as a major input, the impact of passive trading will be much larger on the deletions as compared to the additions.
• The potential adds have outperformed the potential deletes, but relative performance has been drifting lower over the last few months. There are stocks that will have flows from other indices.
