The latest global market volatility has reinforced China's status as a distinct market, even if its growth has slowed recently. While U.S. tech stocks plunged and Japanese stocks swung wildly in a historic two days of price action , Chinese stocks suffered less .

The latest global market volatility was spurred in part by the unwinding of the Japanese yen carry trade, after the Bank of Japan's rate hike and growing expectations for U.S. rate cuts.

If the Fed does cut rates, that could support the case for Chinese stocks, Steven Sun, head of research, Qianhai Securities, and a team said in the Aug. 6 report. U.S. rate cuts would mean the People's Bank of China could then further ease its monetary policy, “which is critical for China's nascent property market recovery," the analysts said. They added that a weaker U.S. dollar makes the Chinese yuan more attractive to foreign inflows, while U.S. rate cuts are generally positive for emerging markets such as China.
