ASX 200 toys with bearish breakdown, don’t write of the China A50 yet

A potential bearish reversal pattern suggests a drop to 7900 for the ASX, but only if it clears a support cluster first. China's A50 still looks solid above 13k to my eyes, despite yesterday's selloff.

The bounce for the ASX nay end up being short lived, but price action suggests bulls might sneak in a 'last hurrah' over the near term. Meanwhile the China A50 continues to hold its ground and hint at a bounce of its own.

Dow Jones, China A50 look to go their separate ways

Wall Street indices may be around their record highs, yet the Dow Jones has been knocked from its perch and considering its next leg lower. Yet I suspect buyers are lurking around the China A50 in anticipation of its next leg higher.

ASX eyes record high, China A50 on track for best week of the year

The China A50 is up an impressive 16% this week already thanks to the latest round of stimulus from China. While this helped the ASX to a degree, it likely needs a soft US inflation report to break and hold above record high.

China markets stimulus special: Copper, iron ore, Hang Seng, A50 trade setups

We’ve seen plenty of short squeezes before that have quickly run out off puff. But with speculation swirling that policymakers may follow up Tuesday’s monetary policy easing with fiscal stimulus ahead of Golden Week holidays, that alone may be enough to promote further gains in the days ahead.

Powell dangles a dovish carrot ahead of jobs, ISM: ASX 200, China A50

US yields were a touch lower with Jerome Powell saying that inflation is on the disinflationary path, ahead of key economic data from the US including ISM services, JOLTS and ADP employment reports. The ASX 200 and China look poised to move higher following a strong lead from Wall Street ahead of Independence Day.

The China A50 might hold 12k if these two key stocks can stabilise

China’s major stock market indices have been falling since the middle of May. With little in the way of a decent bounce higher, I continue to suspect one could be due.

China A50 futures: oversold and primed for a bounce?

China A50 stock futures have been hammered on Thursday, as have most other equity futures across Asia. The US dollar is breaking out as US Treasury yields push higher, seeing traders abandon riskier positions ahead of quarter-end. The baby is being thrown out with the bath water.

Hang Seng, China A50 reversing hard after tough end to May

Chinese stock futures have surged on the resumption of trade on Monday, finding buying support after hitting multi-week lows on Friday. If the gains stick, it points to a potential trend change in both the Hang Seng and China A50. The gains track similar moves across the Asian region and follow a late surge on Wall Street to end May.

China’s ‘National Team’ may be mobilising to stabilise its crumbling equity markets

China’s ‘National Team’ – a collection of state or quasi state-backed entities tasked by the government to smooth out financial market ructions when the prevailing price action is deemed desirable – looks like it may have been mobilised with China’s A50 ripping higher late Thursday and going on with the move today.

S&P 500, China A50: A break and a bounce ahead of major event risk

In contrast to price action on the S&P 500 which is within touching distance of record highs, China’s A50 languishes at multi-year lows, hit by a sluggish domestic economy, fears about negative spillover effects from distressed property developers, along with geopolitical and regulatory risks.
