China CleanTech July 2015 Result: Shanghai Drives Index Down

Sydney, Aug 11, 2015 AEST (ABN Newswire) - 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.

The China CleanTech Index fell from 65.01 to 57.10 over the month of July recording a 12.2% loss. This compared to the NEX loss of 5.9%, the CTIUS loss of 1.1%, the huge Shanghai Composite loss of 14.3% and the MSCI gain of 1.7%.

The China CleanTech 20 also fell steeply with a 9.9% loss. This however showed that the smaller stocks have been hit hardest in the recent rout.

The best performing sub-indices for the month were the China Waste Index with an 8.6% loss and the China Hydro Index with a 9.2% loss. The two weakest sub-indices through July were the China Water Index with 16.3% loss and the China Wind Index with a 16.0% loss.
