Markets look certain to benefit from planned move

Chinese stock market will be boosted if A shares are included in the MSCI Emerging Market Index later this year.

Jing Ulrich, vice-chairwoman of Asia Pacific at JPMorgan Chase & Co, expected a brief rally for Chinese shares when the inclusion is finally agreed.

Global equity index provider MSCI Inc mentioned in March that it will focus on a smaller number of A-share companies, raising expectations that A-shares could finally be included in the international benchmark index this year.
