The Yifangda Baijiu ETF (03189) jumped more than 5%, rising 5.47% to HK$1.196 as of press time, with a turnover of HK$453,100.

On the news front, this year's third-quarter reports for the baijiu sector have all been released, with both revenue and profit declines narrowing on a quarter-over-quarter basis.

According to a research note from CICC, the baijiu business model determines the sector's cyclical characteristics of "strong prosperity and slow clearing," and the current adjustment is nearing its end. Looking ahead, the institution believes that pessimistic expectations have been relatively fully reflected, and with variables such as the shift toward the consumer end and the expansion of new categories, the sector is expected to enter a new stage of structural recovery.

The Yifangda Baijiu ETF tracks the CSI Baijiu Index and is the world's first and only ETF registered in Hong Kong that tracks the CSI Baijiu Index.
