China’s CSI 300 Set to Lose Appeal Before Adding CXMT, BI Says

Bloomberg Intelligence warns China’s CSI 300 Index may lose some appeal as a key benchmark unless it adds memory supplier CXMT Corp., which is viewed as unlikely until late 2027. The delayed inclusion suggests continued tracking/attention friction for benchmark-linked flows tied to CXMT. Overall, the update is a cautious signal for relative investor positioning rather than an immediate market-moving catalyst.
