Shares of Geely Automobile Holdings Ltd. soared 9.09% on Tuesday, as investors cheered the potential impact of China's economic stimulus measures and a proposed stock market stabilization fund on the automaker's earnings prospects.
The surge in Geely Auto's stock came amid a broader rally in Hong Kong stocks, with the Hang Seng Index gaining 1.9% by midday. The upbeat sentiment was fueled by optimism surrounding corporate earnings, following a slew of stimulus policies unveiled by the Chinese government.
Adding to the positive sentiment was a proposal from a prominent Chinese think tank, the Institute of Finance & Banking, for Beijing to establish a 2 trillion yuan ($280.5 billion) stock market stabilization fund. "Such a fund could steady the market through buying and selling blue-chip stocks and exchange-traded funds," the institute said in a report, according to the 21st Century Business Herald.
