The news of a likely summit between US President Joe Biden and his Chinese counterpart Xi Jinping later this year has raised expectations in the markets. Several Chinese stocks, which have been wavering recently, saw a comeback on Thursday following the news. Media reports claimed that the two leaders might meet in a virtual summit by the year-end.

A likely thaw in bilateral relations might give a major boost to the US-listed Chinese stocks. China’s crackdown on some domestic companies led to their stock rout in the US exchanges. Likewise, the US regulators also had called for greater scrutiny of Chinese firms. Here we explore five US-listed Chinese stocks that gained traction after the news of the Biden-Xi summit.

Bottomline

Many Chinese companies might have delayed their US IPOs due to trade tensions between the two countries, say market observers. However, improving bilateral ties might help regain some lost ground for the Chinese companies in the US markets. Nevertheless, investors should evaluate the companies carefully before investing in stocks.
