from an outflow perspective, the csi 500 and 300 are getting outflows.tingly, health care seems to be getting lots of inflows, but they are not really performing this year. we have found that perhaps health care, people viewed it as a cheaper sector to invest into from a valuation perspective. ultimately with china, they have an aging population and we expect people will be investing in health care in the coming years. so we expect the health sector to grow. haidi: other than health care, what other sectors do you see our performers when it? rebecca:? rebecca: comes to etfs this year if we look at where investors are putting money, tech is a place where it is going to grow. the ai boom has helped a lot of investors be interested in tech. a lot of, but that a lot of companies are investing billions in ai. we expect technology sectors will do well and we will see more inflows into this. also in a recent survey, they interviewed investors in mainland china and found that 83% of them said they plan to increase investment into tech and the internet income yea

the csi 300 is up 0.1%, with the half saying up 0.1%.is signaling that crackdown on the tech sector by imposing fines on andrew, tencent holdings, and the proposal to buy back 6.7% of their shares improved investor sentiment. you are looking at some of the intraday charts. this is alibaba at 87 a share. it is a similar story for peers like tencent. when i zoom out to the gmm, and give you bond yields in asia, it is all about their trajectory for interest rates globally. the bank of japan is doing something more specific around repurchase agreements. this is the first time they have done something like this since march 2022. this is ¥3 trillion of government bonds that they will buy with these purchase agreements. it is going to raise the stakes for the bank of japan as we get closer to potential clarity on yield curve control in the weeks and months to come. dani: thank you for the asian markets roundup. let's talk about geopolitics, because u.s. treasury treasury secretary janet yellen wrapped up talks with chinese leaders in beijing. s
