Direxion Daily FTSE China Bull 3X Shares (YINN) experienced a significant 24-hour surge of 5.02% in overnight trading, reflecting renewed optimism in Chinese markets. The rally was primarily driven by signs of stabilization in China's property sector and gains in technology firms, boosting overall market sentiment.
The Chinese property market showed encouraging signs of recovery, with home sales by the 100 largest developers in China increasing by 0.4% year-on-year in September, reaching 252.8 billion yuan (US$35.5 billion). This modest growth marks a reversal from the 17.6% decline observed in August, suggesting that the government's incremental policy support over the past three years, including recent easing of purchase rules in major cities like Beijing and Shanghai, is beginning to yield positive results.
Additionally, Chinese technology stocks contributed to the upward momentum. Notable gainers included Alibaba and Baidu, both rising by 4% and 3% respectively. Other tech giants such as PDD Holdings and NetEase also saw gains of around 2%, while JD.com, Bilibili, and Li Auto recorded increases of approximately 1%. This widespread rally in the tech sector further fueled the surge in YINN, which provides leveraged exposure to the FTSE China 50 Index.
