Why Alibaba, Nio And Pinduoduo Shares Are Falling Today

Alibaba Group Holding Ltd BABANIO Inc NIO and Pinduoduo Inc PDD shares are trading lower Thursday alongside several other Chinese stocks as COVID-19 cases continue to climb in China causing prolonged lockdown measures in Shanghai. 

According to a Bloomberg report, China is banning flights at the fastest pace since January amid the rising COVID-19 cases. Six airlines were reportedly issued one-week bans within four days. 

The surge in cases has led U.S. companies in China to reduce 2022 projections. The increased uncertainty is weighing on several Chinese stocks.
