Chinese electric vehicle (EV) stocks are slipping on Tuesday as macroeconomic factors affect the companies alongside lockdown news.
First off, note that the economy is still suffering as a recession, inflation and rising interest rates weigh on markets. However, that’s not all of the bad news that companies in China are dealing with today.
A bigger factor that could be affecting Chinese EV stocks are lockdowns in their home country. China is increasing restrictions on its populace as new cases of Covid-19 continue to undermine its zero-Covid policy.
The lockdowns in China currently affect 33 cities and more are likely on the way. This has been a blow to Chinese stocks today with the ongoing lockdowns having a negative impact on the country’s economy.
Adding to this, China’s 20th Party Congress is set for Oct. 16. This has current leader Xi Jinping pushing for a third term. As such, he doesn’t want any more major outbreaks of Covid-19 before the Congress meeting.
Let’s see how this news is affecting Chinese EV stocks today.
