China: Total Market Capitalization of Listed Companies / Broad Money M2

Macro

2026-09-15

Description

The total market value of listed companies in China/M2 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.

Note: The total market capitalization is greater than the circulating market capitalization, because the total market capitalization includes all stocks, while the circulating market capitalization only calculates the freely tradable part, such as founder shares, government shares, etc. are not included in the circulating market capitalization.

AI Data Insight

The ratio of the total market capitalization of China's domestic listed companies to M2 rebounded to 0.3244 in Q3 2026 (latest observation), showing a significant recovery from the previous value of 0.3089. This change primarily reflects the continued slowdown in the growth rate of broad money (M2), coupled with the bottom support formed by "National Team" buying and intensive corporate share repurchases for the total market value of A-shares, temporarily easing concerns about the divergence between market liquidity and fundamentals.
