Chinese equities were up notably over the past week. Perhaps the biggest news over the past week is the potential end to the “TikTok Drama” as investors that own a majority stake in Bytedance finally receive a good deal. This deal has been in the works for well over a year but appears to be finally coming to an end. This comes amid a softening stance towards China from the current US presidential administration, as the president continues to dismiss several policies against China (source: chinalastnight.com). Chinese equities are off to a strong start here in 2026. Several ETFs that provide exposure to China are up in the high single digits to start the year, benefiting largely from the 2025 momentum tailwinds.

The KraneShares Electric Vehicles & Future Mobility Index ETF (KARS) was up ~3% over the past week, as Chinese equities continue to start the year off strong in 2026. KARS maintains a strong fund score of 5.77 and was up over 45% in 2025. The weekly OBOS indicates that the fund is in slightly overbought territory, so wait for the 10-week trading band to normalize before considering. Initial support is at $29, with additional support at $23.50.

The table below is a review of important technical data on a select group of KraneShares ETFs. Significant changes within the past week are highlighted in Green if positive or Red if negative. This portfolio is designed to be used as a "radar" screen to bring your attention to potentially important technical changes that may require your attention and potential action. When evaluating the Fund Score, the strongest issues have scores of 4 or higher while those ETFs with scores below a 3 are no longer considered solid citizens.

The distribution curve places each ETF on a bell curve according to their respective degrees of overbought or oversold status using a 10-week distribution. ETFs that are statistically oversold will appear on the left-hand side of the bell curve, while those that have become statistically overbought will appear on the right-hand side of the bell curve. Perhaps the most useful attribute of this feature is that it displays the entire universe on the curve at one time to give us a general picture of whether the KraneShares ETF universe is generally overbought on a near-term basis, or generally oversold. Our best opportunities are to buy strong relative strength ETFs that have regressed back toward mean conditions based on market weakness, or have become oversold based upon extreme market weakness. Weekly Distribution is a short-term gauge that is most helpful in timing entry and exit points, while the longer-term information of trend and relative strength is a more controlling factor in the decision of whether to buy or sell.
