The recent stimulus-triggered rally in Chinese stocks could have legs, said Goldman Sachs, whose strategists upgraded the regional equities and projected high double-digit returns.
The Wall Street firm hiked its rating on Chinese stocks to overweight from equal weight and raised its 12-month price target on the MSCI China index to 84, implying an upside between 15% to 18%.
The announcement prompted massive buying from hedge funds, who piled into beaten-down Chinese stocks like never before.
the long-awaited "Beijing put" has been triggered," Goldman strategists said in a note to clients.
The iShares MSCI China ETF climbed another 2.7% on Monday, jumping more than 30% from its mid-September low and pushing the fund's 2024 return to more than 40%.
