CNBC's Eunice Yoon joins 'Money Movers' to discuss President Trump's threat to add high Chinese tariffs, the Iran war and the failed ceasefire deal.

Invesco China Technology ETF offers concentrated exposure to Chinese tech giants, with top holdings in Meituan, Tencent, and PDD. CQQQ benefits from robust government support, aggressive AI investments, and a fair valuation at 19x P/E, below NASDAQ but above emerging markets. Despite recent AI-driven optimism and policy tailwinds, CQQQ faces persistent geopolitical, regulatory, and earnings quality risks.

China's factory deflation ends after 3 years as PPI turns positive, putting ETFs like MCHI in focus amid rising oil prices and a potential market rebound.

The Invesco China Technology ETF tracks 169 Chinese technology companies, with Tencent, PDD, and Meituan as the top three holdings at over 26% combined. The fund is down 11.5% YTD in 2026, better than KWEB's -16.5% but still a rough ride in a tariff-escalation environment. A five-year annualized return of -10.7% vs. QQQ's +12.4% is the sobering long-run context.

Mainland investors were rare net sellers of Hong Kong-listed stocks overnight, a rare occurrence these days, totaling about $160 million. China YTD retail sales growth was stronger than expected.

China's tech sector spent three years in the penalty box after Beijing's 2021 regulatory crackdown erased trillions in market value.

Invesco China Technology ETF is rated Hold due to its cyclical nature, policy risks, and lack of secular growth catalysts. CQQQ's portfolio is dominated by consumer-facing tech platforms, missing key players like Alibaba and Huawei, and heavily weighted toward Tencent. Recent 42% rally is driven by supportive liquidity, but lacks sustained valuation expansion or foreign investment inflows to justify fresh longs.

Invesco China Technology ETF (CQQQ) offers targeted exposure to China's large- and mid-cap technology sector, tracking the FTSE China Incl A 25% Technology Capped index. I recommend a tactical buy for CQQQ (8-12% allocation), supported by China's accommodative monetary policy and broad-based market participation. Current sector valuations suggest CQQQ trades at a P/E of 25.61, below the Shanghai tech sector's 35, indicating potential upside.

China's record $1.19T trade surplus amid tariffs puts China ETFs like MCHI in focus, as exports pivot beyond the US and high-tech shipments surge.
