Emerging Markets: However, some said the inclusion of A shares in the index is unlikely in the short term, because mainland stock markets are still not fully open to overseas investors, according to Global Times China. The MSCI Emerging Markets Index is one of the world most widely recognized measurements for stock performance in emerging markets. Photo: CFP US index provider MSCI Inc is scheduled to announce early Wednesday whether it will include China A shares in its Emerging Markets Index, with inclusion set to bring funds of up to $68 billion into the A-share markets. The index tracks the performance of more than 800 stocks in 23 economies, more than 70 percent of which are in Asia. The Shanghai Composite Index reached a seven-year high on Monday, but fell back slightly by 0.36 percent to 5,113.53 points on Tuesday. MSCI decision comes at a particularly strong moment for China stock markets, which have been on a record-breaking bull run in recent months, even as the country economy has slowed.
