MW Chinese ADRs surge after report of China authorities' plans to give access to audits
The U.S.-listed shares of China-based companies surged in premarket trading Friday, after Bloomberg reported that Chinese authorities are in the process of giving U.S. regulators full access to auditing reports. That would allow China-based companies to remain listed on U.S. exchanges, removing an overhang that has weighed on the American depositary receipts (ADRs) of China-based companies. The iShares MSCI China Pacer Swan SOS Fund of Funds ETF|ETF $(MCHI)$ jumped 4.0% ahead of the open, after having dropped 15.7% over the past three months through Thursday while the S&P 500 slipped 5.0%. Among the more active Chinese ADRs, shares of DiDi Group Holding Ltd. $(DIDI)$ shot up 17.6%, Alibaba Group Holding Ltd. $(09988)$ rallied 7.0%, iQIYI Inc. $(IQ)$ climbed 10.1%, NIO Inc. $(NIO)$ rose 5.9%, Pinduoduo Inc. $(PDD)$ hiked up 12.5% and Bilibili Inc. $(BILI)$ ran up 12.0%.
