Musings On US-Listed China Plays

By David Blennerhassett

  • Seeing as though it is Chinese New Year week, I thought it might be appropriate to conduct a brief analysis of US-listed China plays.
  • According to a recent US-China Economic and Security Review Commission report, 265 Chinese companies were listed on the NYSE, Nasdaq and NYSE American exchanges in January 2024 worth US$848bn. 
  • That’s down from 252 companies worth US$1.03tn a year ago, a 17.5% decline. 91% of the total market capitalization of Chinese firms listed on U.S. exchanges use VIEs.

Ohayo Japan | Resilience; Sony Sunsets PS5

By Mark Chadwick

  • US stocks surprisingly resilient after sell-off. 10Y bond yield edges lower; Nikkei futures point to strong open
  • Sony’s outlook for profit growth in the coming year looks unappealing. Management transitions the PS5 to end-of-life care.
  • Japan’s diplomats are watching the yen – don’t they always; last intervention was at 152 to the dollar
