Market volatility surged on Monday as several overvalued LOFs experienced sharp corrections. The Global Semiconductor LOF hit its daily price limit down, while the China Resources Silver LOF dropped more than 8% during the trading session. The volatility followed weekend proposals by the Shenzhen and Shanghai stock exchanges to tighten LOF delisting rules. The new rules aim to address premium speculation, liquidity concerns, and price manipulation in mini funds. A fund professional based in Shanghai said the increased delisting risk could reduce speculative demand for high-premium QDII and commodity futures LOFs.

Odaily Planet Daily report: In early trading on Monday, several previously high-premium LOFs experienced synchronized corrections. Among them, the Global Chips LOF hit the daily trading limit down, yet its premium remained elevated at 18%; the Sinopec Silver LOF plunged more than 8% intraday, with its premium rate also exceeding 18%.

The market volatility may stem from significant new regulatory guidelines issued over the weekend. The Shanghai and Shenzhen stock exchanges jointly released a draft for public comment on new delisting rules for LOFs, clearly defining mandatory delisting scenarios for two categories of products, directly targeting long-standing market issues such as excessive premium speculation, liquidity drought in mini funds, and price manipulation within exchange-traded LOFs. A representative from a public fund house in Shanghai noted that the expectation of delisting could directly dampen speculative sentiment toward QDII or commodity futures LOFs currently trading at high premiums.
