Summary
Akhil Patel analyzes the Chinese stock market as a potential opportunity. China’s Shanghai Composite has been in a multi-year downtrend since 2021, even breaching COVID lows. However, historically the Chinese market has brief but explosive rips at key cycle points (mid-cycle peak and end-cycle summit). Akhil identifies timing patterns at 1999-2001, 2005-2007, 2013-2015, and 2019-2021. He anticipates an opportunity as China approaches a similar rip as the cycle peaks.
