The Direxion Daily FTSE China Bull 3X Shares (YINN), a leveraged bullish exchange-traded fund (ETF) tracking Chinese stocks, soared 10.59% in pre-market trading on Wednesday, November 7th, 2024. This rally comes on the heels of China's stronger-than-expected trade data for October, which showed a significant jump in exports.
According to the latest figures, China's exports surged by 12.7% year-over-year in October 2024, reaching a 27-month high of $309.06 billion. This growth outpaced forecasts of a 5% increase and marked a sharp rebound from the previous month's modest 2.4% gain. The stronger-than-anticipated export performance contributed to China's trade surplus swelling to $95.27 billion in October, the largest surplus since June.
Investors interpreted the robust export numbers as a positive sign for the Chinese economy, sparking renewed buying interest in China-related assets like YINN. As a triple-leveraged ETF, YINN aims to deliver three times the daily performance of the underlying FTSE China 50 Index, which comprises some of the largest publicly-traded Chinese companies. The fund's pre-market surge suggests that traders are positioning for further upside in Chinese equities, buoyed by the country's improving trade dynamics and economic prospects.
