China has launched one of its largest market interventions in years, funneling $2 billion worth of yuan into equities and ETFs tracking semiconductor companies among other tech firms.
The move follows a steep correction in Chinese tech stocks, which came to a head on July 17.
Why China Intervened in Tech ETFs
The Asian country just saw record daily inflows of 13.8 billion yuan into the ChinaAMC STAR 50 ETF, which tracks the 50 largest companies on Shanghai’s STAR Market, with chipmakers heavily featured among its members.
At the time of the July 17 crash in Chinese tech stocks, the Shanghai Composite was down 9.1% on the month, with other indexes dumping by over 22%. Two state-backed investment firms, China Reform Holdings and China Chengtong Holdings, stated on Sunday they had invested around 60 billion yuan ($8.9 billion) into equities and ETFs, bringing the total sum from China’s government above $10 billion.
The July crash was largely attributed to overseas volatility and higher aversion to risks in the global markets.
