How to read southbound flows
- Southbound money is often called "smart money" — it tends to concentrate in leaders like Tencent, Meituan and CATL.
- Sustained net buying across many days is a stronger signal than one big day, which can just be index rebalancing.
- Net-buy ratio (net buy as a share of turnover) shows conviction — a high ratio means buyers dominated the tape.
- Flows tell you sentiment and positioning, not valuation. Pair them with fundamentals before acting.
