Investors ponder over direction of monetary policy

  • Published 14 Jan 2010

Investors looked to be hesitating on China entering into the New Year, much like the picture this time a year ago.

During the week ending January 7 2010, flows to China equities hit $212m (Rmb 1.45bn, €145.6m, £130.3m), less than half the $441m that flowed to Brazil equities, EPFR Global reported (chart 1). Investors also turned bearish on China funds, withdrawing $197m during the period, while putting $324m into Asia ex-Japan funds (chart 2.1 and 2.2).
