FTSE China A50 Index Futures Open Down 1.14%

A second consecutive leg lower in A50 futures suggests the weakness is being carried into the cash open rather than fading overnight, which matters most for large-cap exposure tied to the index. The move is narrow in scope — this is a futures signal, not a broad risk event — so the read-through is mainly about sentiment into the session. Whether the decline holds through the open or gets bought back is the open question.
