CHINA’S NEW STOCK INDEX CAUSES ETF EXCITEMENT

中國新股指數引發ETF熱議

The Shanghai Composite Index was one of the few Asian markets to inch higher today as a general sense of gloom persists among equity investors. It managed to climb a bit less than a fifth of one percent, while the Shenzhen Component declined three quarters of a percent. Investors are still waiting for signs of a solid economic recovery, according to market watchers.

由于股票投資者普遍感到悲觀，上海綜合指數是今天為數不多的小幅上漲的亞洲市場之一。它設法攀升了不到1%的五分之一，而深圳板塊下跌了四分之三。市場觀察人士表示，投資者仍在等待經濟穩步復蘇的跡象。

One thing getting a lot of interest was the new index launched yesterday for Chinese A-shares -- the CSI A50 Index. This tracks some of the most well-known companies on the mainland markets, but unlike the CSI 300, doesn't include so many from traditional industries. It's being billed as better representing the modern Chinese economy, and the sectors the government wants to focus on. We have some expected big names on the index including China's most expensive stock - the liquor maker Kweichow Moutai. There's also the electric vehicle battery maker CATL, security system maker Hikvision, Ping'An Insurance, and the drug maker Wuxi Apptec. 

有一件事引起了很多人的興趣，那就是昨天為中國a股推出的新指數——中證A50指數。這追蹤了大陸市場上一些最知名的公司，但與滬深300不同的是，它不包括那么多傳統行業的公司。它被宣傳為更能代表現代中國經濟，以及政府希望關注的行業。我們預計該指數上會有一些大人物，包括中國最昂貴的股票——白酒制造商貴州茅臺。還有電動汽車電池制造商CATL、安全系統制造商?？低?、平安保險和藥品制造商無錫藥明康德。

According to the regulators, they've received applications from at least seven mutual funds wanting to create ETFs tracking the A50 in the first 24 hours after its launch.... the A50 itself closed today a little lower however.

據監管機構稱，他們已經收到了至少七家共同基金的申請，希望在A50推出后的前24小時內創建跟蹤其的ETF… 然而，A50今天收盤時略有下跌。

Automaker BYD -- also on the A50 by the way -- edged higher after being confirmed as the top selling maker of pure electric vehicles in the world - knocking Tesla off its pedestal. BYD shares rose a third of one percent, and financial journal Yicai has reported the company is planning big cash bonuses to Chinese car dealerships for hitting sales targets... bonuses that are expected to total 2 billion yuan.

汽車制造商比亞迪（BYD）——順便說一句，也在A50上——在被確認為世界上最暢銷的純電動汽車制造商后小幅走高，將特斯拉（Tesla）推下了巔峰。比亞迪股價上漲了三分之一，金融雜志《第一財經》報道稱，該公司正計劃向達到銷售目標的中國汽車經銷商發放巨額現金獎金。。。獎金總額預計為20億元。

More broadly, Asian stock markets were pretty grim on Wednesday as hopes faded of deep and early cuts to interest rates by the US Federal Reserve. The markets are waiting on both the latest Fed minutes and US jobs data. But that prompted a slide in tech stocks, which left the Hang Seng 0.9 percent lower. PC maker Lenovo was down 4.5 percent.

更廣泛地說，亞洲股市周三相當嚴峻，因為對美聯儲提前大幅降息的希望消退。市場正在等待美聯儲最新會議紀要和美國就業數據。但這促使科技股下跌，導致恒生指數下跌0.9%。個人電腦制造商聯想股價下跌4.5%。

But there was some reprieve for Chinese video game stocks after reported personnel changes at the Chinese gaming regulator. New proposed rules designed to reduce spending on video games had sent the sector into a bit of a spin, but gaming giant Tencent rose 1.3 percent while rival Netease was up almost 1 percent.

但在中國游戲監管機構公布人事變動后，中國電子游戲股出現了一些喘息之機。旨在減少電子游戲支出的新規則使該行業出現了一些混亂，但游戲巨頭騰訊上漲了1.3%，而競爭對手網易上漲了近1%。

The tech-inspired market slide today was felt heavily in South Korea too, where the KOSPI 200 shed 2.6 percent -- the biggest fall for that index since late October. Shares in Samsung Electronic were down 3.3 percent.

韓國股市今天也感受到了科技股的暴跌，韓國綜合股價指數200下跌2.6%，這是該指數自10月下旬以來的最大跌幅。三星電子股價下跌3.3%。

Japanese markets will be back from their new year holiday tomorrow.

日本股市明天將結束新年假期。
