Partial inclusion of Chinese shares in MSCI on the way?

IT IS that time of year again - when the annual review of index provider MSCI on June 15 decides whether to include China's A-shares into its emerging markets (EM) index.

A-shares on May 30 jumped more than 3 per cent on no obvious news, and continued to outperform a few days later.

Market chatter points to a renewed excitement of a potential inclusion, which was fanned noticeably by Goldman Sachs raising the odds of a positive outcome to 70 per cent, from a coin-toss previously.
