The PBOC held the 1-year medium-term lending facility (MLF) rate at 2.5% in March. The PBOC remains on a dovish tilt, but depreciation pressure on the RMB limits room for monetary easing in China before global central banks start to cut rates.

On the global artificial intelligence (AI) stage, China and the U.S. are viewed as the clear front-runners. By some estimates, China is leading.

China and Hong Kong markets had a humbling 2023 with equities down more than 10%. Beijing has also begun stepping up tourism and travel promotions, granting visa-free entry to 11 countries, with Singapore and Thailand the latest to be included.

China's January CPI inflation was weaker than forecast at -0.8% YoY, which marks the lowest level since September 2009. We expect this to mark the bottom of the current cycle.

China: January 2024 CPI Inflation Fell To The Lowest Level Since 2009, Likely To Mark The Bottom

Why China May Need To Do More To Boost Investor Confidence

The Chinese economy is stabilising, but the only fireworks will come from the new year celebrations, which begin on February 11, as momentum remains weak. China's GDP growth for the fourth quarter rose from 4.9% year-on-year to 5.2%, bringing 2023 full-year growth to 5.2% YoY, exceeding the 5% growth target set at last year's Two Sessions.

China Begins Year Of The Dragon With Weak Economic Momentum

While recent policy announcements and data surprises have generated some optimism, we maintain a cautious stance on China's economic prospects. We believe weak consumption trends, a downbeat labor market and continuing property sector headwinds should all weigh on the economy in the coming quarters.

China Growth Could Slow Amid Limited Policy Options

In response to the recent China equity market rout, policymakers vowed last week to stabilize the market through more forceful measures. Despite a very positive initial market reaction (an 8% rebound in three days), deeper fundamental issues such as deflationary risks and lack of demand remain key concerns for China's economy.

China Outlook: Market Rescue Welcomed, But More Needed

China's government is finally moving to stimulate the economy after its sluggish post-COVID reopening.

Restarting China's Economic Growth

Chinese stock prices have lost money in the 16 years since 2007 and are now back near 2005 levels. Chinese treasury bonds have rallied sharply as beaten-up capital capitulates out of riskier markets and back to the relative safety of government bonds.

When it comes to China tech stocks, it's a tale of two outlooks. Over the near term, the asset class could be challenged by multiple headwinds.

China Tech Stocks Face Near-Term Headwinds, Long-Term Outlook Bright

Broadly speaking, Chinese equities and the related exchange traded funds disappointed investors this year, but there's a growing sense that 2024 could bring better things for this asset class. If accurate, that prediction would be good news for investors with exposure to the world's second-largest economy.

India's potential for economic growth lies in its young population, business-friendly reforms, and technology sectors. To unlock this potential, India needs long-term policies to address structural constraints and short-term infrastructure investments.

Increased growth prospects for China's economy courtesy of the International Monetary Fund should set the stage for more investor interest in ETFs focusing on the country. China's growth has been stunted by ongoing real estate development issues.

The Chinese government's stimulus measures appear to be having a tangible effect on stabilizing the country's economy. But for future growth, investors may want to align their exposure with a tech focus.

Consider Tech as China's Economy Shows Signs of Stabilization

PMI data for October showed momentum in China's economy waned following recent improvements in hard activity data. By industry type, most manufacturing sectors experienced a slowdown in growth in October, though for companies that are heavy consumers of energy, activity actually declined slightly, perhaps affected by recent increases in the prices of crude energy.

China: Momentum Waned In October

Fundamentally, the efforts of the government of China to reinvigorate economic growth via stimulus measures may also have a positive effect on its tech industry. Technically, indicators may already be hinting at a tech comeback.

Technical Indicators Could Hint at China Tech Rebound

September's inflation data remind us that despite some firming in activity indicators recently, China's economic recovery remains challenged, and is perhaps behind recent rumours of a slightly more accommodative approach to central government deficits. One month does not constitute a trend, however, and the base effect story, which we believe will slowly lift Chinese inflation over the coming months, is still in play.

The IMF, the World Bank, and the United Nations all rank China and Japan as the second and third largest economies on the planet. More of what is occurring in the markets should reflect what is happening in China and Japan which are strongly linked economically.

China Could Derail Japan's Fragile Recovery

While China's economy is still struggling, it is at least not getting incrementally worse and there are some pockets of improvement. Exports continue to decline in year-on-year terms, but the rates of decline are decreasing.

How China Is Dodging The Doom Loop

As China accelerates stimulus across multiple sectors, its sluggish economy is showing early signs of recovery, boding well for the A-share market. For most of 2023, sentiment toward China's A-share market has been weak.
