The U.S.-listed shares of China-based companies traded broadly higher Tuesday, as investors were emboldened by the major steps to be taken to lift COVID-19-lockdown measures in Shanghai.

The Invesco Golden Dragon China exchange-traded fund
PGJ,
+5.42%

charged up 4.6% in morning trading, with more than three-quarters of its active components enjoying gains, to buck the weakness in the broader stock market. That put the ETF (PGJ), which is comprised of U.S.-listed shares of companies based in the People’s Republic of China, on track for the highest close since May 4.

Meanwhile, the S&P 500 index
SPX,
-0.31%

shed 0.9% and the Nasdaq Composite Index

lost 0.8%.

Also seeing heavy trading, shares of KE Holdings Inc.
BEKE,
+11.27%

shot up 10.9% after the housing transactions platform reported a wider-than-expected first-quarter loss but revenue that beat forecasts, while ecommerce giant Alibaba Group Holding Ltd.’s stock

+4.25%

rallied 3.2%.

Shanghai authorities said they will take measures on Wednesday to reopen Shanghai, China’s largest city, as the Associated Press reported. That fueled investor optimism for a quick rebound in country’s economy, which is the world’s second largest.

PDD,
+7.18%

ran up 5.9% toward a three-month high, and have soared 38.4% amid a four-day win streak. Benchmark analyst Fawne Jiang reiterated the buy rating and $85 stock price target, which implied about 66% upside from current levels, after the mobile marketplace had reported on Friday big profit and revenue beats for its first-quarter.
