China stocks are popping and history shows that means these Dow stocks should be winners today

FAN Editor

China’s Shanghai Composite Index surged more than 4 percent on Monday as authorities took steps to boost equities prices in the face of a slowing economy. History shows certain U.S. stocks are positively correlated to big up moves by China’s equities.

One in particular — Caterpillar —tends to do really well.

CNBC used analytics tool Kensho to look at what happens to members of the Dow Jones Industrial Average when the Shanghai composite jumps 2 percent or more in a single day.

Caterpillar‘s success is closely tied to global manufacturing so as China takes steps to support its markets, that should give a boost to the company. Caterpillar shares were up 1.6 percent in premarket trading Monday.

Other winners include Disney, Cisco and Boeing.

This could be a quick trade however. If the Chinese governments efforts don’t work and Chinese stocks return to their bear market, Caterpillar and other Dow stocks could suffer.
