What's the outlook for commodities and stocks in China now that the torch is out?

In the two years prior to the Beijing Olympics the iShares FTSE/Xinhua China 25 Index [FXI  Loading...      ()   ] was up 66%. Will the infrastructure boom in China continue to drive its market?



***************************************

Market Performance 4 Years After Hosting Olympics

Country:            Benchmark Index

USA                       + 123%
Australia                + 10%
Greece                    + 112%

***************************************

I’m bullish on the FXI, says Jon Najarian. I think the infrastructure trade is still in play. There are 200 cities of over 1 million people in China. Infrastructure should be a gold mine.

If you believe in the story and that China is going to push the "restart button" then look at the dry shippers, counsels Joe Terranova. Check out Excel  Maritime [EXM  Loading...      ()   ] and Genco [GNK  Loading...      ()   ].

If you want to play China I think the best way to do it, is through multi-nationals, counsels Guy Adami. Personally, I’d only do it with Yum Brands [YUM  Loading...      ()   ].

As you might remember we posed this same question on Friday when technical analyst Quint Tatro and president of River Twice Research Zach Karabell were on the panel.

-------------(scroll down to see what they said )-------------

“When I look at the iShares FTSE/Xinhua China 25 Index  I noticed that the chart was putting in a double bottom which is a very bullish technical sign,” replied Tatro. I find the risk / reward very appealing.”

“On the fundamental side it looks like we’re in early earnings of an incredible story,” Zach Karabell added. “It’s a great reason to be long term bullish commodities.”
