Ideas

Hong Kong market recovery in late July
Liquidity, fundamentals and investor sentiment are all starting to improve and align for a recovery in the Hong Kong market, despite weak macro conditions.
Hong Kong Market (Hang Seng Index) MED
Laura Wang Chief China Equities Strategist, Morgan Stanley 83:30
Bullish on Chinese semis and hardware
Chinese semiconductors and hardware are well positioned on a multiyear basis despite near-term volatility from the global AI super cycle, though valuations in areas like optical transceivers are stretched, requiring selectivity.
SMH HIGH
Laura Wang Chief China Equities Strategist, Morgan Stanley 87:30
Avoid China consumption and property
Chinese consumption and property sectors are not recommended; weak credit data points to low confidence and spending, with no major stimulus expected to revive them in the near term.
KWEB Chinese Property Sector MED
Laura Wang Chief China Equities Strategist, Morgan Stanley 88:07
Buy Chinese insurance for dividends
Chinese insurance offers a decent dividend yield and has upward growth potential tied to wealth management demand from the Chinese population, making it a favored sector.
IAK MED
Laura Wang Chief China Equities Strategist, Morgan Stanley 88:26
Add traditional energy on elevated oil
Chinese traditional energy names, especially coal chemicals, benefit from relatively elevated oil prices and offer decent value, leading Morgan Stanley to recently add them to their focus list.
Chinese Traditional Energy Sector (Coal Chemicals) MED
