XPeng Inc. (XPEV), a leading Chinese electric vehicle manufacturer, witnessed a remarkable surge in its stock price on November 11, 2024, soaring by 7.97% as part of a broader rally in Chinese American Depositary Receipts (ADRs) and Exchange-Traded Funds (ETFs).
The rally in Chinese stocks, including XPeng, was fueled by positive investor sentiment towards the Chinese market. Overnight trading saw significant gains in prominent Chinese companies, with Alibaba (BABA) and Li Auto (LI) rising more than 3%, while NIO (NIO), JD.com (JD), and PDD (PDD) experienced increases of around 2%.
The optimism surrounding Chinese equities appears to have been driven by a combination of factors. On November 10, Chinese authorities unveiled a $1.4 trillion, or 10 trillion yuan, economic package aimed at rescuing debt-laden local governments, although the immediate impact on economic growth was deemed limited. Additionally, China's surging trade surplus, which is on track to hit a fresh record this year, may have contributed to the positive sentiment.
