New World Invesment Research

China’s equity market has shown notable resilience during the recent escalation around Iran. While several major Asian benchmarks — including Japan’s Nikkei 225 and South Korea’s KOSPI — sold off alongside the S&P 500, China’s CSI 300 moved far less in relative terms.

This divergence raises an interesting question: are investors starting to view Chinese equities as somewhat insulated from certain geopolitical shocks that primarily affect Western markets and global energy flows?

Perhaps a part of the answer is China’s extensive efforts in diversifying its energy supply chains and energy sources. The nation accomplished an exceptional job in developing and building renewable energy infrastructure and promoting the consumption of EVs. However, there are many more factors to this… which I will talk about later on!
