Over the past month, volume spikes have coincided with upward revisions in the "FXI stock price forecast", suggesting improved market breadth in the underlying A-shares and Hong Kong listings. The Institute of Supply Management's benchmark survey of manufacturing activity showed the first expansive reading in sixteen months, coming in at 50.8, with a subindex of prices paid jumping to multi-year highs. "A technical 'cup and handle' formation in short interest may signal further bearish pressure. With options pricing a 9% move [up or down], and shorts already sitting on $11.5B in YTD gains, positioning remains heavily tilted against the stock," according to S3's Matthew Unterman. Quant-based analysts tracking beta coefficients expect the "FXI stock price forecast" to slightly outperform the MSCI Emerging Markets index if current macro momentum persists.
