Direxion Daily FTSE China Bear 3X Shares ETF and its bullish counterpart, Direxion Daily FTSE China Bull 3X Shares ETF, offer leveraged exposure to Chinese equities amid ongoing U.S.-China trade tensions. FXI and Chinese stocks have rebounded from recent lows but remain well below key resistance, with political risk and China's business ideology still weighing on valuations. YANG and YINN are highly volatile trading tools, subject to time decay and reverse splits, requiring strict time and price stops for risk management.

Among APAC equity markets, Australia has a higher beta to oil prices while India, Indonesia and Thailand have lower betas. Domestic political uncertainties have been one main reason for the decoupling trend seen in Indonesia and Thailand.

Investing in Chinese stocks is challenging due to the mix of good (fundamentals), bad (headwinds such as tariffs), and ugly (data gap). I hold a bearish bias on the Chinese market, rating the triple bear ETF YANG as HOLD. YANG can be used as a hedging tool to navigate current uncertainties. YINN/YANG dual-play is a "blackbox" approach to lower volatility. Option-writing on both ETFs may generate income in a safer way.
