Index Rebalance & ETF Flow Recap: ASX, Chinext, URA, Korea Stocks, NKY
- Busy week in India with the adhoc changes to the NIFTY, NSE Nifty Next 50, S&P BSE SENSEX and Nifty Bank due to the HDFC Limited and HDFC Bank merger.
- The IDX could announce the changes to the IDX30, LQ45 and IDX80 indices in the coming week, though there is no firm schedule for announcements.
- Yet another week of inflows to the Tracker Fund of Hong Kong Ltd (2800 HK) ETF and outflows from the Hang Seng H Share Index ETF (2828 HK).
Last Week in Event SPACE: Celltrion, Fast Retailing, Canon, Costa, Chindata
- According to Invest Chosun, Celltrion Inc (068270 KS) plans to submit a merger registration statement to the KRX in July, with Mirae Asset Securities acting as the lead underwriter.
- Fast Retailing (9983 JP) investors are in a conundrum. The stock is doing well. With one quarter to go, the company just raised its full-year EPS target by 8.3%.
- Canon (7751 JP)‘s most recent buyback should be done now-ish. They have been ~15-20% of volume over the past month. The Trade would be short Canon vs Ricoh (7752 JP).
