Working with the China A50 Index series

A China A50 CFD quoted in US dollars while its fifty constituents trade in yuan — the currency translation is inside the price, so this series mixes equity beta with USD/CNH beta and can move on pure FX days when mainland markets are shut. The A50 itself is mega-cap financials-and-consumer heavy, a much narrower China than the broad CSI 300. Know which of the three exposures (stocks, currency, concentration) your result actually comes from.
