Chinese stocks are climbing higher on Friday as investors continue to hope that the country will ease off of Covid-19 restrictions.
China remains one of the few countries in the world still holding firm to lockdowns and restrictions due to the pandemic. However, that’s been weighing on its economy for some time and is causing problems.
There’s been increasing talk lately that China will abandon its Zero Covid policy in favor of a full reopening. While that hasn’t happened yet, the country is moving forward with vaccination and booster shots ahead of a potential reopening.
When Will China Reopen?
Current forecasts have China reopening in the first half of 2023. This isn’t an official outline from the Chinese government. Instead, it’s expectations from experts as they predict the country will slowly loosen restrictions in the coming months.
And those predictions are doing wonders for Chinese stocks today. Several shares are on the rise as investors regain hope that lockdowns in the country will come to an end soon. Here’s a quick breakdown of some of the stocks on the rise today.
