<li>Delayed this week because of the long (Japanese holiday, which I took for myself) weekend, as were the <a href="https://www.smartkarma.com/insights/hk-connect-southbound-flows-to-9-aug-2024-tencent-the-big-buy-again" target="_blank" rel="noopener">SOUTHBOUND</a> and <a href="https://www.smartkarma.com/insights/mainland-connect-northbound-flows-to-9-aug-2024-back-to-net-selling-of-renewables-and-consumer" target="_blank" rel="noopener">NORTHBOUND</a> monitors. </li>
<li>SOUTHBOUND inflow strong. Tencent strong inflows. Net buying every day for two weeks. NORTHBOUND outflows large. Record foreign investor outflows from China's capital markets this year.</li>
<li>As expected (with AH 20d Premia returns at multi-year highs last week), AH Premia fell slightly, with narrow premia falling more than wide premia. I'd expect more H-vs-A gains.</li>

Delayed this week because of the long (Japanese holiday, which I took for myself) weekend, as were the SOUTHBOUND and NORTHBOUND monitors. 
SOUTHBOUND inflow strong. Tencent strong inflows. Net buying every day for two weeks. NORTHBOUND outflows large. Record foreign investor outflows from China's capital markets this year.
As expected (with AH 20d Premia returns at multi-year highs last week), AH Premia fell slightly, with narrow premia falling more than wide premia. I'd expect more H-vs-A gains.


A/H Premium Tracker (To 9 Aug 2024): Global Market Vol. SB Bought. NB Sold. Premia Down.
