BlackRock cut Chinese equities to neutral from overweight – China property sector a drag

Via the latest note from BlackRock Investment Institute, which covers a wise scope, this on China and Chinese shares. I’ve bolded the more encouraging bit:

  • We … cut emerging market (EM) stocks, including Chinese equities, to neutral from overweight as China’s
    property sector remains a drag even with growth showing signs of stabilizing

That’s about for the good China news in the note though. More:

  • China’s restart is losing steam and we don’t see valuations compelling
    enough to turn overweight
  • see only limited policy
    stimulus from China

In the screenshot the black dot is the ‘previous’ view:

Also, this:

  • Geopolitical fragmentation, like the strategic competition between the U.S. and China, is set to rewire global supply
    chains
