However, Franklin Templeton Institute Investment Strategist Christy Tan believes that policy support and an improving global outlook could benefit Chinese<span class=\"paywall-full-content invisible\"> equity and fixed income markets in the second half of the year.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible\">In my previous article on \u201cChina\u2019s consumption triangle &#8211; a possible trinity,\u201d I mentioned that China\u2019s domestic consumption is the biggest upside opportunity in the next six to 12 months. Many will disagree with me as recent macro data has revealed a post-COVID reopening recovery that has been bumpier than expected. Consumer confidence has been patchy, while the services sector recovery has been more encouraging. Such circumstances have led policymakers to tread carefully. However, there are increasing signs that more stimulus measures are getting underway. Multiple government agencies are drafting these measures<span class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\"> and it was reported that the State Council will discuss these policies very soon. They will likely include at least a dozen measures designed to support real estate and domestic demand. The Chinese authorities are gaining confidence that they can unleash a bull in the \u201cChina shop\u201d without breaking the porcelain.<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">\n<h2><strong>Did you know?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Apparently, the idiom \u201cbull in a china shop\u201d was already in use in the 1800s as a title of a song in a pamphlet printed by M. Angus and Son, circa 1800. However, many had theorized that the idiom may have originated in the 17th century in London when somebody brought cattle to the market. Presumably, some bulls managed to escape and got inside a crockery shop. Thus, the idiom was born. It has of course evolved to describe the scenario where a big animal knocking down the delicate crockery (also known as china) from the shelves in a shop, leaving a mess. French, German and a few other European languages have a similar idiom. Curiously, according to some other stories, it wasn\u2019t a bull that got into the china or porcelain shop, but an elephant. After all, a male elephant is also known as a bull. Interestingly enough, a few years ago the TV show <em>MythBusters<\/em> put \u201cbull in a china shop\u201d to the test. They showed not one but several bulls running around a makeshift china shop. Surprisingly, not one bull broke a single dish. The bulls were running, but they were nimble enough to avoid the shelves. Maybe the French and the Germans were right. It was the elephant that behaves like a, well, bull in a china shop.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<h2 class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">Here are my latest observations:<\/h2>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">In short, over the past six months, China\u2019s reopening has not delivered the growth that President Xi Jinping and his government favor, and so policy is beginning to shift. As reported in the media, China is mulling a new property-market support package and regulators are considering a new basket of measures, including reducing down payments in some non-core areas of key cities, further relaxing purchase restrictions, as well as refining and extending policies announced in the \u201c16 financial measures\u201d from November 2022.<sup>1<\/sup> In addition, media reports indicate that the Chinese authorities are guiding big banks to lower deposit rates by 10 basis points (bps).<sup>2<\/sup> That preceded the People\u2019s Bank of China\u2019s announcement of a 10 bps cut in the seven-day repurchase rate from 2%.<sup>3<\/sup> The move may be small, but it conveys their intent to boost growth. Finally, the State Council recently reiterated its commitment to support the production and adoption of electric vehicles (EVs) through extending the purchase tax reduction and promoting the construction of high-quality charging infrastructure.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">Additionally, fiscal policy will be eased in a targeted and measured fashion. Beijing understands that government support is required to stem an erosion of domestic confidence in the recovery. Local and foreign investors are closely watching policy responses as the government makes decisions crucial for China\u2019s medium-term growth and wealth creation.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">Finally, investors should also note changes at the regional level, above all at the six \u201ceconomically strong provinces.\u201d These six provinces account for about 45% of national gross domestic product (GDP)<sup>4<\/sup> and make up nearly 60% of the national total for foreign trade.<sup>5<\/sup> They include the coastal, export-heavy provinces of Guangdong, Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Shandong, as well as the landlocked provinces of Henan and Sichuan. These provinces have their 2023 GDP growth target at 5%-6%.<sup>6<\/sup> Investors, in other words, should look beyond Beijing and Shanghai.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">Bears have a point, but bearishness is overdone<\/h2>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">Those in the bearish camp are flagging deflation risks, record-high youth unemployment, scant signs of foreign direct investment (FDI) recovery, and elevated US-China tensions that are hindering bilateral trade and cross-border investment flows.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">Some foreign investors are now questioning China\u2019s role as a contributor to global economic growth. Those concerns appear exaggerated, in our opinion. True, between 2013 and 2021 China\u2019s average contribution to global economic growth exceeded 30%, ranking first across the world, a level that probably cannot be sustained.<sup>7<\/sup> But in doing so, China leapfrogged to a large economy and a major force in world GDP. By 2021 China\u2019s GDP accounted for 18% of world output, up from 11% in 2012.<sup>8<\/sup> China\u2019s real GDP expanded at an average annual growth rate of 6.6% percent from 2013 to 2021 versus 3.0% for the global economy and 4.1% for developing economies.<sup>9<\/sup><\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">The bottom line is that the well-being of China will play a vital role in the prosperity of the rest of the world. China\u2019s growth during global dislocations this century has cushioned other economies from shocks. Concerns about China\u2019s diminishing role as the global pillar are misplaced. If anything, China is slated to become an even larger contributor to the world economy, passing a fifth of global output in the coming five years. Even rising trade protectionism, which has halved China\u2019s exports (as a % of GDP) from its peak at 40% in 2006, has not hampered China\u2019s contribution to global growth nor its emergence as one of the world\u2019s most powerful economic blocs (alongside the European Union and the United States).<sup>10<\/sup><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">What does this mean for Chinese investments?<\/h2>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">Thus far in 2023, Chinese equities have been lagging behind not only US markets but also versus Japanese and German indexes.<sup>11<\/sup> Weaker-than-expected China growth has been a clear drag on mainland share price performance, as have been significant downward revisions in corporate profits.<sup>12<\/sup> The Chinese equity market has derated this year.<sup>13<\/sup><\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">\n<figure class=\"regular-img-figure\" contenteditable=\"false\"><picture> <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/ifintechworld.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/saupload_UTM-Bull-Chart-1.png\" alt=\"China Equity - Forward P\/E Ratio During Previous Market Stress Periods vs. Current Forward P\/E Ratio\" contenteditable=\"true\" loading=\"lazy\"> <\/picture><figcaption><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">But as a consequence, Chinese stocks have also already factored in a lot of bad news. For instance, based on our calculation, the Chinese equity market now discounts more than an 80% probability of recession. That probability is based on the MSCI China Index forward price-to-earnings (P\/E) ratio of 10.8x, which is now below the median ratios of previous market stress periods, including the global financial crisis (13.4x), the COVID-19 pandemic (13.3x) and 2022 (11.7x).<sup>14<\/sup> Similarly, the Chinese credit markets are pricing in recessionary risks, reflected in the wide credit spreads in the one-three years and five-10 years maturity ranges.<sup>15<\/sup><\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">\n<figure class=\"regular-img-figure\" contenteditable=\"false\"><picture> <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/ifintechworld.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/saupload_UTM-Bull-Chart-2-1.png\" alt=\"China Fixed Income - Credit Spreads During Previous Market Stress Periods vs. Current Credit Spreads\" contenteditable=\"true\" loading=\"lazy\"> <\/picture><figcaption><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">With a fair amount of negative news already priced in as well as the pending policy stimulus, we anticipate a 2023 second-half recovery for Chinese markets. The recovery is likely to happen in stages.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">It is worth recalling that optimism about COVID reopening at the end of last year led to foreign portfolio inflows worth US$25 billion in the first five months of 2023.<sup>16<\/sup> But interest waned as the economy stuttered, triggering outflows of US$2.4 billion in April and May.<sup>17<\/sup> As policy becomes more supportive, we expect renewed interest in the market as growth and profits expectations turn up and against the backdrop of what we consider attractive valuations.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">Equity investment opportunities are apt to tilt toward manufacturing, especially in industrial equipment, and in the banking sector. In our analysis, industrial equipment should benefit from a probable rise in capital expenditure as the economy improves. For banking, we believe stable earnings and strong asset quality accompanied by attractive valuations are key supports.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">Finally, we would be remiss if we did not note that the global economic outlook is also improving. Signs of falling inflation without sharp economic slowdowns in the United States or in Europe are bolstering global investor sentiment. Policy rates are nearing their peak in the United States, with Europe not far behind. In our opinion, the global profits recession appears to have bottomed, with upward revisions now the norm in most regions.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">We believe China and Chinese equities will likely benefit from these developments. It is becoming increasingly evident to us that the narrow base of equity leadership, which dominated market performance in the first half of 2023, is giving way to greater global participation. With China at the nadir of its business and profits cycle, but also offering what we consider compelling valuations, it is well poised to join the broadening global equity market recovery that could be a hallmark of the second half of 2023.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">Conclusions: Do not fear the bull in the china shop<\/h2>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">The \u201cbull in a china shop\u201d tends to be associated with fragility of the surroundings and the presence of clumsiness.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">But that is not the same as being an equity bull in the shop that is the Chinese equity market. We believe that appropriate policy support &#8211; coordinated between the central and regional governments &#8211; should make the disappointments of China\u2019s recovery that have plagued its equity market thus far this year a thing of the past. An improving global outlook is also supportive, as is a growing willingness of investors to broaden their horizons.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">In this sense, we welcome the bull in the China shop. There is value to be found in traipsing around its assets.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\"><em><strong>WHAT ARE THE RISKS?<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\"><em><strong>All investments involve risks, including possible loss of principal.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\"><em><strong>Equity securities<\/strong> are subject to price fluctuation and possible loss of principal.<\/em><\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\"><em><strong>Fixed income securities<\/strong> involve interest rate, credit, inflation and reinvestment risks, and possible loss of principal.
