Why JD.com Stock Is Falling Today
Shares of JD.com (NASDAQ: JD), China’s largest online retailer, were falling today as investors worry that the country’s strict zero-COVID policy continues to keep large swaths of the population in lockdown. Investors are growing increasingly concerned that the Chinese government’s policy of having as few COVID cases as possible by implementing strict lockdowns will cause an economic slowdown in the country, and potentially spur a recession. Reuters reported this morning that an analyst at Nomura estimates that 45 cities in China were in full lockdown as recently as last week, accounting for about 40% of China’s gross domestic product.
