The China CleanTech Index recorded a 12.2% loss in July 2015 underperforming three its global benchmarks. The losses have been driven by the steep plunge across the board on the Shanghai Stock Exchange.
Pacifico Minerals Limited (ASX:PMY) is pleased to announce that Argonaut Securities has released an updated research note on the Company.
With over 160 companies falling under the coverage of the Index and with a combined market capitalisation of over 2.2 trillion Renminbi (US$370 billion), the China CleanTech Index presents a picture of the Chinese cleantech industry's growth in a single measure.
The China CleanTech Index underperformed all of its four benchmarks for the month of June 2015 and recorded a loss of 12.9%. This was driven by big losses across all Chinese stocks due to the volatile Shanghai stock exchange.
The best performing sub-indices for the month were the China Efficiency Index with a 28.9% gain and the China Waste Index with a 19.8% gain. The two weakest sub-indices through May were the China Solar Index with 24.2% loss on the back of the issues at Hanergy and the China Hydro Index with a 5.7% loss.
The China CleanTech Index rose from 64.25 to 74.57 over the month of April recording a 16.1% gain. This compared to the NEX gain of 5.1%, the CTIUS gain of 1.1%, the Shanghai Composite gain of 18.5% and the MSCI gain of 2.2%.
The China CleanTech Index outperformed all of its four benchmarks for the month of March 2015 and recorded a huge gain of 16.2%. This was driven by both strong gains across all Chinese stocks and the positive government sentiment towards environmental initiatives expressed at the National People's Congress.
