NIO Inc (NYSE: NIO) shares are trading lower Monday amid a resurgence in COVID-19 cases in China.
Recent outbreaks have caused casinos, among other businesses, to close in Macau. Fears that new lockdowns could be implemented are crippling China-based stocks today.
Several Chinese stocks are also trading lower following reports that China has imposed fines on some big tech companies for failure to comply with anti-monopoly rules on the disclosure of transactions.
Additionally, China's automobile industry association reportedly lowered its auto sales outlook.
The State Administration for Market Regulation (SAMR) released a list over the weekend of 28 past M&A deals that violated anti-monopoly rules. Some big tech firms including Alibaba (NYSE:BABA) Group Holding Ltd (NYSE: BABA) and Tencent Holdings (HK:0700) (Pink: TCEHY) were reportedly hit with fines.
