LOTM: China Easing Rates, While the USA Tightens Rates

Is it time to buy into Chinese stocks?
SHANGHAI, Jan 20 (Reuters) – China lowered mortgage lending benchmark rates on Thursday as monetary authorities step up efforts to prop up the slowing economy, after data earlier in the week pointed to a darkening outlook for the country’s troubled property sector.

The cut to the one-year and five-year loan prime rates (LPR) followed surprise cuts by China’s central bank on Monday to its short- and medium-term lending rates and came days after the central bank’s vice governor flagged more moves ahead. Link to full story

If you accept the fact that US stocks and crypto is weakening because the US is tightening interest rates then yes, it is logical to assume that China easing at all levels is bullish for Chinese stocks.

What do the charts suggest on some larger Chinese ETFs?

We are looking at the three-year weekly charts because we are first approaching this as a macro trend for accumulation. In a second step, you can do is to zero into the shorter-term charts to fit the chart to your time-line and price goals. Email if you want help or coaching.

Let’s add one big and well known China company chart to our viewing pleasure: Alibaba (BABA) $118.99

Chart

BABA is showing early days of basing chart pattern (stage one chart pattern). MACD and CMF are improving. RSI verses the market is off its lows but not yet showing a sign of out-performing the market.

Our conclusion is that yes China’s interest rate easing at a time of USA interest rate tightening, is a investable play. We would suggest a slow but steady start to accumulating positions that fit your investment style – Trade, Investor Speculator. My work is usually early in finding new trends. Occasionally I am spot on but more often than not I am early.
