Hot China Companies To Invest In Right Now

LONDON -- The FTSE 100 (FTSEINDICES: ^FTSE  ) had an almost clean sweep of positive sessions this week, before falling back a little on Friday to close at 6,384 points. But it still gained a healthy 135 points over the week, touching a high point of 6,424 on Thursday. And with the top U.K. index having reached a five-year high of 6,534 points on March 12, London is still in a general bullish mood.

Here are four of the biggest-moving FTSE 100 stocks this week.

Marks & Spencer (LSE: MKS  )
High Street department-store chain Marks & Spencer has been going through a touch patch, but an Easter shopping week that was billed as its best ever helped push the stock up 23 pence (6.1%) to reach 400 pence. Group sales for the fourth quarter gained 3.1% year on year, with U.K. sales managing a 2.6% rise. We were also told that "despite the macro-economic issues in some of the legacy markets, our performance in Europe improved in the quarter."

Antofagasta (LSE: ANTO  )
The FTSE's big mining stocks have had a hard few weeks as fears of a slowdown in Chinese demand have been weighing heavily. But positive news from China of lower-than-expected inflation gave them a boost this week, with Antofagasta one of the biggest winners. The copper miner saw its price rise 52 pence (5.4%) to 1,013 pence, but it's still down more than 25% since early January.

  Yanzhou Coal Mining (YZC) engages in the underground coal mining, as well as preparation, processing, sale and railway transportation of coal. This stock closed up 7.6% to $7.31 in Thursday's trading session.

  Thursday's Range: $7.14-$7.31
  
  52-Week Range: $6.68-$18.57
  
  Thursday's Volume: 391,000
  
  Three-Month Average Volume: 370,383

  From a technical perspective, YZC bounced sharply higher here right off some near-term support at $6.77 with above-average volume. This stock has been downtrending badly for the last six months, with shares plunging from its high of over $14 to its recent low of $6.68. During that move, shares of YZC have been consistently making lower highs and lower lows, which is bearish technical price action. That said, shares of YZC have recently formed a double bottom chart pattern at $6.68 to $6.77. This stock now looks ready to reverse that downtrend and possibly trigger a near-term breakout trade. That trade will hit if YZC manages to take out some near-term overhead resistance levels at $7.76 to $8 with high volume.

  Traders should now look for long-biased trades in YZC as long as it's trending above its recent low of $6.77 and then once it sustains a move or close above those breakout levels with volume that hits near or above 370,383 shares. If that breakout triggers soon, then YZC will set up to re-test or possibly take out its next major overhead resistance levels at $9 to $10. Any high-volume move above those levels will then give YZC a chance to tag its next major overhead resistance levels at $10.67 to $11.11.
