Core Content Overview
This document provides a regional market update covering Indonesia, China, Malaysia, Singapore, Thailand, with a focus on healthcare, property, shipping, and other sectors. It also includes key indices, top picks, assumptions, and sector-specific analysis.
Main Points
Indonesia - Healthcare
- The healthcare industry is expected to grow at over 20% in 2015-16 due to rising income, increased government spending, and underpenetration.
- Recommendation: BUY SIDO and SILO.
China - Interest Rates
- The PBOC announced asymmetric interest rate cuts on 22 November 2014, reducing the one-year lending rate by 40bps to 5.6% and the one-year deposit rate by 25bps to 2.75%.
- The cap on deposit rates was raised to 1.2x.
- Expectation: Further monetary easing, including RRR cuts, is anticipated in early 2015.
- Impact: Lower interest rates will support asset prices and the real estate market, but may also trigger new tightening measures if ASPs surge.
- Recommendation:
- BUY SUNAC China (1918 HK) and China Vanke (2202 HK).
- SELL Guangzhou R&F (2777 HK).
- HOLD Shimao (813 HK) and Agile (3383 HK).
China - Property
- Property stocks rebounded on the back of rate cuts, with transaction volumes expected to surge in large cities.
- Key Insight: While mortgage rates may decrease, banks are unlikely to ease lending significantly due to narrowing NIMs.
- Valuation: A sustainable recovery is expected in the coming 3-6 months (1H15) until housing prices surge again, which may lead to new pricing controls.
- Top Picks:
- BUY SUNAC China (1918 HK), China Vanke (2202 HK), and China Resources Land (688 HK).
- HOLD COLI (688 HK).
- SELL R&F (2777 HK).
China - Shipping
- No fundamental improvement in the shipping sector.
- Bunker fuel prices dropped 22.5% from end-June, providing short-term cost savings but not long-term improvement.
- BDI is constrained by high iron ore inventory and weak demand.
- Recommendation:
- BUY OOIL (316 HK).
- HOLD CSCL (2866 HK).
- SELL China COSCO (1919 HK) and China Shipping Dev (1138 HK).
