Ideas
KOSPI attractive; NVIDIA may boost Asia.

Favor Chinese high-dividend defensive stocks.
Yi Dong highlights high-dividend defensive names in banking, utilities and materials as favored by long-term investors and outperforming sector peers, especially as local investors rotate into high-dividend yield names when AI hardware momentum cools.
Hong Kong internet over crowded AI hardware.

Alibaba is long-term AI winner.
Yi Dong views Alibaba's AI fundraising selloff as overdone because Alibaba remains an important AI player in China and overseas, and its AI capex can become a good long-term business even if core e-commerce is not the current focus.
China domestic demand may outperform second half.
Yi Dong argues that stable top-tier city housing prices in China, with rental yields above risk-free rates, may change macro sentiment quickly, and low investor allocations to domestic consumption and furniture sectors could drive better second-half performance.
Bullish Chinese indexes on IPO rotation.
Yi Dong sees a supportive backdrop for Chinese indexes because the IPO pipeline requires market sentiment to stabilize, and investors may shift focus to heavyweight sectors in the A-share market, supporting an index-level bullish view.
Buy Treasuries at high yields.
Anne Walsh says if the 10-year Treasury yield reaches 5%, it is a buying opportunity because equity markets cannot function well at that level, and she would buy heavily if the 30-year Treasury reached 6%.
Prefer shorter AI credit over long-duration.
Anne Walsh prefers shorter-duration AI capital markets offerings and other infrastructure/real asset exposures over long-duration hyperscaler debt because long-duration data-center debt carries obsolescence risk from the AI buildout.

Rotate to lagging EM Asia, China, India.
Marvin argues rising EM concentration risk from TSMC, SK Hynix and Samsung, plus the momentum factor falling out, favors lagging markets in Southeast Asia, India and China; China is underweighted by technicality and its non-tech sectors have global drivers outside weak domestic demand.
Leapmotor is delivering strong profitable growth.
Michael Wu says Leapmotor delivered strong profitable growth with rising market share and 96,000 overseas units, is on track for 1 million full-year 2026 deliveries and 200,000 exports, and expects margin recovery from higher volume, cost-cutting and rising in-house component content.
Hong Kong luxury rents keep rising.
Cathie Chung expects Hong Kong luxury residential rents to keep rising because expat inflows are growing at the fastest pace in three years, driven by finance and wealth-management expansion, plus tax exemptions and reduced housing stock from conversions.
Hong Kong prime offices recovering strongly.
Cathie Chung sees Hong Kong prime Central office rents recovering strongly, already up 8% year-to-date and expected to rise 10% to 15% for the full year, driven by high-quality buildings and finance-sector expansion.
