Investors are flooding into the largest US-listed ETF tracking Chinese stocks as it roars higher on hopes the unwinding of China’s Covid Zero policy will resuscitate demand.

The $8.5 billion iShares MSCI China (ticker MCHI) fund lured a net $134.1 million Wednesday, the largest one-day increase since November. The fund, which mostly invests in shares of Chinese companies listed in Hong Kong — including Alibaba Group Holding Ltd. and JD.com Inc. — has gained 9.3% since the beginning of the year.
