Chart of the Day: SGX stocks with Chinese exposure rebound 25% YTD

The rally comes after China posted better than expected Q1 GDP growth figures.

The top ten largest SGX stocks that have a majority of their revenue or base most of their assets in China are showing signs of bouncing back after outpacing the Straits Times Index (STI) with an average of 24.5% in total returns from a decline of 21.5% in 2018, according to SGX. 

The move comes after China saw better-than-expected GDP growth in Q1 at 6.4% following rebound in industrial production, new loans and consumer sentiment.
