2023股市收官：A股受阻低迷東京股市大漲

And now it’s time to take a look at how the Asian stock markets wrapped up - not just the last trading day of the month, but 2023 as a whole....

現在我們來看看亞洲股市的收盤情況--不僅僅是本月最后一個交易日，而是整個 2023 年。

While the Chinese mainland markets ticked higher on their last day of trade for 2023; it was an upbeat end to a difficult year.

在 2023 年的最后一個交易日，中國內地股市走高，為艱難的一年畫上了一個圓滿的句號。

Both the major Shanghai and Shenzhen indices are ending the year below key psychological levels. The Shanghai Composite below 3,000 points, and the Shenzhen Component below 10 thousand. These are levels the markets have been fighting to maintain in the second half of the year, when China’s post-covid economic recovery started showing signs of being a long, drawn out process. The CSI 300, which tracks China’s blue chip stocks, was one of the worst performing global indexes this year, shedding【去除】11.4 percent over the course of 2023.

滬深兩市的主要指數在年底都低于市場關鍵價。滬綜指低于3000點，深成指低于萬點。今年下半年，市場一直在努力維持這些水平，當時中國的后伏特經濟復蘇開始顯現出漫長、拖沓的跡象。追蹤中國藍籌股的滬深 300 指數是今年全球表現最差的指數之一，在 2023 年期間下跌了 11.4%。

International investors have been hesitant to buy Chinese A-shares, with net buying on the stock connect links totalling only around 44 billion yuan -- or 6.2 billion US dollars. Sounds like a lot, but it’s the smallest annual inflow since 2015, dented【削弱】by heavy selling in the second half of the year.

國際投資者一直對購買中國A股猶豫不決，股票聯通凈買入總額只有約440億元人民幣，約合62億美元。聽起來很多，但這是自2015年以來最小的年度流入量，今年下半年的大量拋售削弱了這一流入量。

But that’s not to say there have been no winners among the traditional sectors and the new. Chinese oil giant PetroChina has seen the benefits as turmoil【混亂】in Ukraine and the Middle East pushed crude prices higher. Its stock ends 2023 up more than 40 percent.

但這并不是說傳統行業和新興行業中沒有贏家。隨著烏克蘭和中東地區的動蕩局勢推動原油價格走高，中國石油行業巨頭“中石油”也從中獲益。該公司股票在 2023 年底的漲幅超過 40%。

It’s also been a year of tech tension between China and the United States, as Washington has sought to restrict China’s access to high end semiconductors -- particularly those that can be used to develop and train AI. That will leave Chinese chip makers to fill the void, and their stocks have been rising. Shares in China's biggest chip producer - SMIC - are up almost 30 percent this year.

今年也是中美科技關系緊張的一年，因為華盛頓方試圖限制中國獲得高端半導體，特別是那些可用于開發和訓練人工智能的半導體。這使得中國芯片制造商填補空白，而它們的股票一路高漲。中國最大的芯片生產商“中芯國際”的股票今年上漲了近30%。

Hong Kong’s Hang Seng was the world’s worst performing stock index this year, and finished the last trading day flat. It’s followed a similar trajectory【軌道】to the Chinese Mainland markets, and it’s big-name tech listings have suffered due to persistently high inflation and interest rates around the world. Tech stocks and other so-called ‘growth stocks’ tend to be far more interest rate sensitive than traditional sectors ... and if you like low interest rates, this hasn’t been your year.

香港恒生指數是今年全球表現最差的股指，在最后一個交易日以持平收盤。恒生指數的走勢與中國內地市場類似，由于全球通脹和利率居高不下，恒生指數中的大牌科技股也受到了影響?？萍脊珊推渌^的“成長股”對利率的敏感度往往遠高于傳統行業……如果你喜歡低利率，今年就不適合你。

If you were tracking the Nikkei 225 it definitely was your year. The Japanese markets put on a stellar performance in 2023 with the Nikkei 225 gaining 28.2 percent - its best year in a decade. We saw the index repeatedly hit 33 year highs, as Japan’s long-running problem of low inflation seemed to finally be conquered, and speculation rose about an end to the BOJ’s ultra-loose monetary policy. Japanese markets were also helped along by a fairly weak yen. Many Japanese listed firms make a fair amount of money outside of the country, and need to repatriate【把（資金）調回本國】 that income. If the yen is low, those yen-denominated profits look even better. And there were even some high-profile statements of confidence in Japanese business - most notably Warren Buffet's Berkshire Hathaway moving to increase its stake in Japanese firms.

如果你追蹤的是日經225指數，那么今年絕對是你的好年份。2023 年，日本市場表現搶眼，日經 225 指數上漲了28.2%，是十年來漲幅最大的一年。隨著日本長期存在的低通脹問題似乎終于得到解決，以及對日本央行結束超寬松貨幣政策的猜測升溫，日經 225 指數屢創 33 年新高。日元相對疲軟也對日本市場有所幫助。許多日本上市公司在國外賺取了相當多的錢，需要將這些收入匯回國內。如果日元走低，這些以日元計價的利潤就會更好。甚至還出現了一些對日本企業充滿信心的高調表態，其中最引人注目的是沃倫·巴菲特（Warren Buffet）的伯克希爾·哈撒韋公司（Berkshire Hathaway）開始增持日本公司的股份。

So it’s been a year with some very clear winners and losers. And Chinese and Hong Kong markets are certainly ripe for a rebound in 2024.

因此，這一年的贏家和輸家都非常明顯。2024 年，中國和香港市場反彈的時機無疑已經成熟。
