Macro

2026-08-31

Description

The Free Float Market Capitalization/M2 of listed companies in China is mainly used to measure the extent of market capital investment in the stock market. When this indicator is too high, it represents a large influx of funds into the stock market, which may lead to a rapid rise in stock prices and the risk of diverging from fundamentals. Conversely, a lower indicator may indicate a relatively smaller stock market or a lack of liquidity in the market.

In the third quarter of 2026, the ratio of the free-float market capitalization of China's domestic listed companies to M2 fell to 0.2707, a significant decline from 0.2965 in the previous quarter. This reflects that amid the slowdown in M2 growth and the volatile pullback of A-shares, the fervor of massive capital inflows into the capital market has somewhat cooled. Market analysis points out that weak real financing demand and insufficient momentum in capital activation are the key factors driving this indicator's correction from its peak.
