Chinese investors are dumping Hong Kong stocks at a record pace:
Hong Kong equity ETFs listed in China posted a record -$3.7 billion in outflows last week, the largest weekly outflow on record.
This marks the 5th consecutive weekly outflow and the 10th over the last 12 weeks.
By comparison, Hong Kong stock ETFs saw 11 weekly outflows during the entire 2025.
Capital is rotating into China-listed semiconductor and AI-linked stocks, which investors view as more direct beneficiaries of the AI boom.
Even a +10% surge in Tencent on Tuesday failed to stop the outflows, with mainland Chinese investors using the rally as an opportunity to exit ~$268 million worth of its shares during the same day.
Chinese investors are turning away from Hong Kong.
Oil producers ( $COP $XOM etc) are still selling physical oil at ~$140 regardless of the drop in $WTI futures price. Isn't this an easy buy the dip? What am I missing?
