Why the move?
Of late, Chinese tech markets have been performing well. Recently, Chinese tech giant Tencent surpassed Facebook (NASDAQ:FB) in market value. It became the first Asian company to cross market value of $500 billion. Tencent reported strong quarterly results and is looking to expand into Malaysia. This led to a rally in the stock.
More Gains Ahead?
Currently, CN has a Zacks ETF Rank #3 (Hold) with a High risk outlook. So it is difficult to get a handle on its future returns one way or another. However, the fund has a weighted alpha of 36.4. So, there is a promising outlook ahead for those who want to ride this surging ETF a shade further.
