FTSE China A50 Index Futures Open 0.22% Higher

A 0.22% opening gain, on top of a 0.14% night-session rise, is marginal in absolute terms, but the sequencing matters more than the size: two consecutive firm prints suggest overnight positioning is leaning constructive rather than merely flat. Because this is the overseas contract tracking China A-shares, it functions as an early sentiment read on offshore appetite before the domestic cash session sets the tone. Whether that modest bid survives the local open, or fades as onshore flows take over, is the open question.
