|HSBC Asset Management notes that Chinese stocks have begun 2026 on a strong note, fueled by significant advancements in technology, particularly in AI and robotics. However, challenges remain, including weak domestic demand and the need for a shift towards a consumption-driven economy.
Tech innovation boosts market confidence
"Chinese stocks have got off to a solid start in 2026 – buoyed by a fresh wave of homegrown tech advances, from a new AI model and robotics to commercial rockets and flying cars. As part of China’s new five-year plan, technological innovation (especially in AI) remains a key priority."
"But after last year’s market re-rating, investors will want stronger fundamentals and profits this year. Key to this will be the macro backdrop."
