China's capital markets witnessed record outflows in November, official data from Reuters showed

SHANGHAI (Reuters) - China's capital markets saw a record outflow of $45.7 billion in November, according to official data tracking cross-border investments in stocks and bonds.

Cross-border receipts of portfolio investment totaled $188.9 billion while payments totaled $234.6 billion, resulting in the largest monthly loss under the item, according to forex regulator data released late Monday.

The portfolio data follows other capital data from China that have shown similar trends.

China's central bank said on Monday that foreign institutions reduced their holdings in Chinese onshore bonds for the third consecutive month in November.

Separately, the Institute of International Finance (IIF), which tracks global portfolio flows, also recorded outflows in both China's bond and stock markets last month.

A stronger US dollar in the wake of Donald Trump's victory helped shape portfolio flows to emerging markets, including China, the IIF said.
