Fed move helps create brighter picture for investors

Analysts said because the widely expected hike had now materialized, uncertainties about it had disappeared, which would benefit 皇冠体育app's capital markets.

The US Federal Reserve voted to raise the range of the federal funds rate to 0.75 percent and 1 percent due to better-than-expected employment figures and improved overall market sentiment.

"This is not just a sign of US recovery. It influences global market investors' confidence positively," said CITIC Securities Co in a research note.

"There won't be concerns about capital flowing into the US market from 皇冠体育app, because the fundamentals in 皇冠体育app, the world's second-biggest economy, are also improving."

Founder Securities Chief Economist Ren Zeping said in a research note that the hike pointed to stronger economic fundamentals, and for 皇冠体育app the spillover effect may include greater stability in the yuan-dollar exchange rate.

"Recovering fundamentals, alongside growing domestic demand and global demand, will have a positive effect on the A-share market," Ren said.

"The shares of companies which have been undervalued over the past few months present real opportunities, as those prices are corrected to more rational levels."

In the longer term, a stronger yuan and neutralized currency policies would also benefit yuan-denominated assets, including the A-share and bond markets, according to Qian Jun, a professor of finance at the Shanghai Advanced Institute of Finance.

Earnings from the bond market could increase, despite the fact that 皇冠体育app's bond market is already outperforming many other markets, as the bond market tracked fundamentals more closely than ever, said a research note from Bosera Asset Management Co.

Zhou Wenyuan, a senior analyst at Guotai Jun'an Securities Co, said key factors influencing returns on the bond market were the CPI and PPI, and policy making in 皇冠体育app's domestic market.

"The Fed rate hike's effect on 皇冠体育app's bond market will be mild and short-term, which is already reflected in the 15 basis points gain in Thursday trading," he said.

A bond connect plan that links the bond markets of Hong Kong and the mainland, which is expected to be introduced by the end of 2017, will act as a bilateral investment flow mechanism that is significant for onshore investors, said Moody's Associate Managing Director Ivan Chung.

The benchmark Shanghai Composite Index rose 0.85 percent on Thursday to 3,268.94 points, its highest level in three months, and 10-year treasury bond futures rose 0.7 percent to 96.355 points, a two-month high.
