For investors seeking momentum, Global X China Financials ETF is probably on radar now. The fund just hit a 52-week high and is up more than 51% from its 52-week low price of $13.20/share.
But are more gains in store for this ETF? Let’s take a quick look at the fund and the near-term outlook on it to get a better idea on where it might be headed:
CHIX in Focus
