Chinese stocks followed through on Wednesday, setting the stage for several more days of gains, as many of the stocks we are trading are breaking above resistance today. This post is a continuation from the review we did this morning, in our pre-market post.
China stocks from the retail group like JD.com (JD) which rallied 15%. Pinduoduo (PDD) gained 7.7%, adding to Tuesday’s rally. Both stocks added to solid gains to start the New Year.
China EV makers BYD (BYDDF), Li Auto (LI), XPing (XPEV), and Nio (NIO) surged on Wednesday.
Macau-centric casinos Wynn Resorts (WYNN) and Las Vegas Sands (LVS) also catapulted on easing Covid restrictions.

Chinese Stocks – Catalyst – BABA Ant Approval
Alibaba (BABA) stock gapped up on Wednesday, adding (+12.98%) to an already impressive move that started on Tuesday (+4.54%). Most analysts attribute the outsized move to Beijing’s approval to a massive capital increase. Jack Ma’s Ant Financial Group can now raise $1.5 billion for the tech giant’s consumer finance unit. Alibaba owns 33% of Ant.
