Chinese stocks are outperforming the US, but watch out for 'structural issues,' expert warns

The Shanghai composite posted its best day in nearly four years, and the, an ETF that tracks some of the largest China-based companies, hit its highest level since June. That ETF is outperforming U.S. stocks this year — gaining 15 percent compared with the S&P 500's 11.5 percent — but one expert is urging caution.

"China still has a number of structural issues that it has to face. Now of course it's slowing down very slowly and it continues to put out better numbers than the U.S. But the China story and the [emerging markets] story is now very overcrowded as a trade, so I would be careful there," she added. "Technically speaking we've broken not only an uptrend going back since last year, but we got above $43.50, which has held since last spring. So it's been a big breakout of late," he said.

"I do see some negatives in the near term meaning it has moved up a bit too far too quickly. Forty-six dollars is a big level. It's really a 50 percent retracement of the entire move down since last year."
