China further obscuring information about overseas funds going in & out of its stock mrkt

This comes via a Bloomberg report (gated):

• Beijing says it will stop publishing daily flows data.
• The decision follows a move in May to end data on intraday flows through trading links with Hong Kong.
• Investors will lose the ability to calculate net flows at the end of each trading day from August 18.
• The only daily data published by the exchanges from that date onward will be the total turnover and the number of trades made in stocks and exchange-traded funds via the Hong Kong links, as well as the turnover of the 10 most active securities.

This is not inspiring confidence in Chinese stock markets.
