Optimistic outlook for the equity market given the rise in corporate earnings With corporate results having turned the corner for the most part and better pricing reflecting this, good things are expected for the equity market going forward. This is the outcome of the US economy being robust and China's macroeconomic fundamentals progressively getting better, according to a note from RHB Research..... https://bit.ly/4aMmfRO #Malaysia #Stockmarket #Investment #SoutheastAsia S Birruntha Via www.nst.com.my

Chinese stock markets fell to multi-year lows after the country’s gross domestic product for the fourth quarter came in below expectations. The struggling property market and deflationary pressures are taking their toll on growth, though infrastructure and industrial investment have gotten a boost from policy support. In our CIO Memo, “China: Q4 GDP weak amidst deflation”, we consider China’s shift from a focus on the property sector in favour of high-tech manufacturing – and explain why we hold a long-term constructive view on certain Chinese equities.

Are Chinese equities undervalued in the current market environment? GAM Invesments’ Jian Shi Cortesi, CFA shares her views on why Chinese equities are trading at extremely low valuations, despite the strong earnings growth of many companies. She explains how the weak sentiment in China is driven by the soft economic growth, real estate drag and the ongoing China-US rivalry. However, she is optimistic about the long-term prospects, and believes that earnings growth will eventually drive stock prices higher. “We continue to see many of our portfolio companies delivering good earnings results. The markets have so far ignored some of these and are not yet reflected in the price, but we have also seen some stocks react positively to the earnings growth.” Watch the video here: https://ow.ly/KQwQ50Qc1Ph Follow GAM Investments and subscribe to our newsletter for more insights: https://ow.ly/NlOV50Qc1Pi #AssetAllocation #AssetManagement #Investing #ActiveThinking #MarketOutlook #China #Equity For professional investors only.

Chinese equities look less attractive after a month of positive returns, owing to soft macroeconomic data, depreciation pressures on the Chinese yuan and market volatility. However, we do expect a recovery in the second half of the year as stimulus measures gradually take effect. Over the coming months, we’ll be scrutinising economic data for confirmation of a Chinese manufacturing turnaround, which would probably support market sentiment in the longer term.

Our latest Investment Update is now available for you to read! Head of Investment, Mashud Rahman, Chartered MCSI focusses on: - Volatility makes its way back to the US - Positive outlook for China - Potential scenarios for the coming months Mashud said: "The second quarter of the year was filled with hope that interest rates were nearing their peak, and markets could look beyond an environment where rates continue to move upward. "The third quarter of 2023 has shown inflation concerns continuing within developed markets, resulting in downward movements in both equities and bonds. "We predict that rates are now close to their peak and are likely to remain at this higher level for longer than expected. This has resulted in a drop in markets."

Credit to Aruni Soni Fri, December 29, 2023 Foreign investors have snatched back nearly 90% of the money they put into Chinese stocks this year https://lnkd.in/gWhADUrx ● Foreign investors have pulled about $29 billion out of Chinese stocks this year, according to the Financial Times. ● That means net foreign investment in China-listed shares this year has dropped 87%. ● The exodus arrives as China's economy has been battered by a property crisis and slow growth post-COVID.

Great to have the opportunity on Bloomberg today to share the abrdn house view on the direction of the US economy, pace of monetary policy and implications for the dollar before getting into the details of the Asian markets. It’s not been an easy year for Asian equity markets, and China has been front and centre of those pressures, so today’s announcement of further support measures for the beleaguered property sector provides some welcome relief. More needs to be done in order for the Chinese economy to really turn the corner, but there is doubtless value there now - particularly amongst some still very high quality consumer stocks. Elsewhere, India and the tech sector remain two of the regions relative bright spots. Collectively, this should make for a better year next year in terms of earnings growth, and ensure that Asia remains the fastest growing and most vibrant region in the world.

China’s market may have turned the corner: https://go.uob.com/4c4xC8L Investors are turning positive on China stocks as economic fundamentals stabilise and the government continues to prop up the stock market. However, being selective is key as the market remains volatile amid a still-problematic property sector.
