FTSE China A50 price movements

As an index composed of stocks from an emerging economy, its price movements exhibit higher volatility compared to some indices from developed countries. The increased volatility is perceived as a positive characteristic by the traders because it can offer higher reward during short periods. If we look at the weekly price chart, it is evident that the index value leans towards movements within a wide range marked with some significant changes from tops to bottoms. So, there are significant price retracements and FTSE China A50 value can change by more than 20 per cent in some instances.

The increased volatility comes from the inclusion of a wide spectrum of industries, so the factors that can affect these industries may also affect the China A50 value. Changes in the value of some of the biggest constituents can also put pressure on the price as it is a float-adjusted market capitalisation index. In addition to the factors mentioned above, traders should also monitor for economic and non-economic events that might affect the stock markets (crisis, political instability, the outbreak of a pandemic, etc.).
