# The verification of leading prosperity and the continuous recovery of the industrial cycle have drawn attention to the opportunities in the China Southern CSI New Energy ETF under Southern Fund

As of the close on April 16, 2026, the China Southern CSI New Energy ETF (516160) had a turnover rate of 7.15%, with a transaction volume of 584 million yuan, while the tracked index, the CSI New Energy Index (399808), rose by 2.48%.

In February 2026, the global new energy market showed significant regional differentiation and structural opportunities: driven by the subsidy window period, new energy vehicle sales in Europe increased by 38% year-on-year, while the decline in the United States has narrowed with promotions; at the same time, the energy storage sector experienced strong growth, with domestic installations surging by 213% year-on-year (cumulative +118% for January-February). The long-term demand logic remains solid, although the United States is experiencing a short-term slowdown due to tightened IRA rules, but household solar storage in Europe is accelerating penetration due to rising gas prices; upstream production data from the lithium battery industry chain indicates that production will remain high in April (year-on-year +46%~63%), confirming the resilience of downstream demand and the continued prosperity of the industry chain. The China Southern CSI New Energy ETF (516160.SH) tracks the CSI New Energy Index, which comprehensively allocates various sub-sectors of new energy, making its cost-effectiveness worth noting.
