Chinese Equities Outperform Global Markets, Rising 22% YTD Despite Trade Tensions
China has quietly emerged as the world’s best-performing major stock market over the past two years, with equities up 22% so far in 2025, according to a recent Bank of America analysis. Despite ongoing tariff pressures and trade tensions, China’s economy has maintained firm footing thanks to robust exports and targeted government stimulus measures.
Beijing’s support has lifted manufacturing activity, with both official and private surveys showing improvement. However, Chinese stocks remain undervalued compared to bonds, contrasting sharply with the US, Europe, and Japan where equities trade at all-time highs versus government bonds.
This performance comes as investors navigate uncertain global trade policies and geopolitical tensions, making China’s resilience particularly noteworthy in the current environment.
