China Weekly Wrap: Markets, Macro & Tech
The episode reviews the Asian market landscape during the week of Feb 15‑20, 2026, highlighting that Mainland China’s Lunar New Year closure shifted price discovery offshore, with earnings-driven rotation favoring North Asian hardware stocks. Korea led the earnings surge thanks to semiconductor upgrades, while Taiwan offered a cleaner AI‑hardware exposure; Hong Kong’s tech index lagged, but red‑chip and property stocks held up. Japan acted as a stabilising allocation, and India, Singapore, and ASEAN markets provided defensive, low‑beta roles. The hosts also note macro developments, policy‑directed credit trends, and upcoming regulatory licensing that temporarily limits portfolio updates.
