<li>AH Premia continue to fall. Spread curve torsion was a barbell this week. Narrow and wide spreads see Hs outperform. Middling spreads outperform less.</li>
<li>To me, warning signs are flashing on spreads. They are at their narrowest in 5yrs and they are volatile, though volatility is coming down.</li>
<li>Lots of spreads see the HA premium less than 15%. That is historically tight.</li>

AH Premia continue to fall. Spread curve torsion was a barbell this week. Narrow and wide spreads see Hs outperform. Middling spreads outperform less.
To me, warning signs are flashing on spreads. They are at their narrowest in 5yrs and they are volatile, though volatility is coming down.
Lots of spreads see the HA premium less than 15%. That is historically tight.


A/H Premium Tracker (To 14 Mar 2025):  AH Premia Still Falling; Expect Curve Torsion or AH Widening

<ul>
<li>AH Premia are lower again (new 5yr low) in the first full week after the CNY holiday. HK stocks up BIG vs A-shares. H/A discounts slightly narrower on average.</li>
<li>That tells you that the big winners in HK the past two weeks are those stocks without A-shares. This past week Healthcare sector pairs saw the best relative H-share performance.</li>
<li>Foreigners returning to HK markets but less to the H in H/A pairs. They are buying HK/China "foreign-investor beta" not China breadth. Feels spivvy, and short-term.</li>

A/H Premium Tracker (To 14 Feb 2025):  AH Premia Fall but Foreigners Buying Non-H/A Pair HK Stocks

<ul>
<li>AH Premia are all over the place this week. Despite that, pairwise intracorrelation is.... up? Yup. Average Pairwise Volatility is up even more.</li>
<li>Some of this may be stocks being bullied by large SOUTHBOUND flows in a quieter end-of-year market. </li>
<li>Finance is seeing big net SOUTHBOUND buying but that is not showing up in A/H premia. I expect things stay noisy through year-end.</li>
