Major Wall Street brokers have become more cautious on Chinese equities, mainly due to persistent deflationary pressures and geopolitical tensions. Morgan Stanley downgraded Chinese equities to Slightly Underweight, citing very limited possibility of the Chinese government launching a fiscal stimulus for consumption and housing by 2025 in advance.

Morgan Stanley explained that mainland China will worry about moral hazard and premature transformation into a welfare state, which will create stronger downside risks to corporate earnings and market valuations in the coming months. The target for the MSCI China Index at the end of next year is 63, slightly lower than the 63.93 at the close of last Friday (15th).

Goldman Sachs also trimmed its target for the MSCI China Index from 84 to 75, but remained Overweight on Chinese equities, pointing out that potential tariffs by the US on China could slacken earnings growth. On the other hand, Goldman Sachs downgraded Hong Kong equities to Underweight in wake of feebleness in the real estate and retail sectors, as well as lower transmission of stimulus policies in mainland China.
