US-Traded Chinese Internet Stocks Rallying During 'Golden Week'

Shares of China-based Internet companies are recording significant gains this week, which is known as "Golden Week" in China.

Since the year 2000, the government has implemented the seven-day "Golden Week" in the mainland. During this period, the stock exchange remains closed. That makes fund managers to look for Chinese stocks in the other stock exchanges like the NYSE or the NASDAQ.

As a result, volatility in the Chinese stocks could be seen during the week. For instance, last year, JD.com JD gained about 4.87 percent during the week. Similarly, Sohu.com Inc. SOHU gained 1.8 percent.
