NEWS ON 01/03 1. CHINA’S NEW STOCK INDEX CAUSES ETF EXCITEMENT 中国新股指数引发ETF热议 -----------------记得点亮右下角的爱心哦------------ CHINA’S NEW STOCK INDEX CAUSES ETF EXCITEMENT 中国新股指数引发ETF热议 The Shanghai Composite Index was one of the few Asian markets to inch higher today as a general sense of gloom persists among equity investors. It managed to climb a bit less than a fifth of one percent, while the Shenzhen Component declined three quarters of a percent. Investors are still waiting for signs of a solid economic recovery, according to market watchers. 由于股票投资者普遍感到悲观，上海综合指数是今天为数不多的小幅上涨的亚洲市场之一。它设法攀升了不到1%的五分之一，而深圳板块下跌了四分之三。市场观察人士表示，投资者仍在等待经济稳步复苏的迹象。 One thing getting a lot of interest was the new index launched yesterday for Chinese A-shares -- the CSI A50 Index. This tracks some of the most well-known companies on the mainland markets, but unlike the CSI 300, doesn't include so many from traditional industries. It's being billed as better representing the modern Chinese economy, and the sectors the government wants to focus on. We have some expected big names on the index including China's most expensive stock - the liquor maker Kweichow Moutai. There's also the electric vehicle battery maker CATL, security system maker Hikvision, Ping'An Insurance, and the drug maker Wuxi Apptec.  有一件事引起了很多人的兴趣，那就是昨天为中国a股推出的新指数——中证A50指数。这追踪了大陆市场上一些最知名的公司，但与沪深300不同的是，它不包括那么多传统行业的公司。它被宣传为更能代表现代中国经济，以及政府希望关注的行业。我们预计该指数上会有一些大人物，包括中国最昂贵的股票——白酒制造商贵州茅台。还有电动汽车电池制造商CATL、安全系统制造商海康威视、平安保险和药品制造商无锡药明康德。 According to the regulators, they've received applications from at least seven mutual funds wanting to create ETFs tracking the A50 in the first 24 hours after its launch.... the A50 itself closed today a little lower however. 据监管机构称，他们已经收到了至少七家共同基金的申请，希望在A50推出后的前24小时内创建跟踪其的ETF… 然而，A50今天收盘时略有下跌。 Automaker BYD -- also on the A50 by the way -- edged higher after being confirmed as the top selling maker of pure electric vehicles in the world - knocking Tesla off its pedestal. BYD shares rose a third of one percent, and financial journal Yicai has reported the company is planning big cash bonuses to Chinese car dealerships for hitting sales targets... bonuses that are expected to total 2 billion yuan. 汽车制造商比亚迪（BYD）——顺便说一句，也在A50上——在被确认为世界上最畅销的纯电动汽车制造商后小幅走高，将特斯拉（Tesla）推下了巅峰。比亚迪股价上涨了三分之一，金融杂志《第一财经》报道称，该公司正计划向达到销售目标的中国汽车经销商发放巨额现金奖金。。。奖金总额预计为20亿元。 More broadly, Asian stock markets were pretty grim on Wednesday as hopes faded of deep and early cuts to interest rates by the US Federal Reserve. The markets are waiting on both the latest Fed minutes and US jobs data. But that prompted a slide in tech stocks, which left the Hang Seng 0.9 percent lower. PC maker Lenovo was down 4.5 percent. 更广泛地说，亚洲股市周三相当严峻，因为对美联储提前大幅降息的希望消退。市场正在等待美联储最新会议纪要和美国就业数据。但这促使科技股下跌，导致恒生指数下跌0.9%。个人电脑制造商联想股价下跌4.5%。 But there was some reprieve for
