Stock Market LIVE Updates: Alexander Redman of CLSA on CLSA downgrading China and raising India

Stock Market LIVE Updates: Alexander Redman of CLSA, says If you order EMs according to sensitivities to an adverse trade policy from the US, there are a few things you need to look at:

First is the level of tariffs; our understanding is 60% on China, but we don't know when they'll be implemented. Around 10% on other markets.

Next is trade exposure to the US, overall proportion of GDP to exports to the US.

Another point is the foreign holding in India at 17.5%, which is one of the lowest across EMs

If you combine these attributes, India on all of those measures somes out as least sensitive among EMs.

Stock Market LIVE Updates: Alexander Redman of CLSA on CLSA downgrading China and raising India

Stock Market LIVE Updates: Alexander Redman of CLSA, says I reversed the tactical position that I built up in China at the end of September, due to three reasons.

1: Because of the re-election of Donald Trump complicates the China trade outlook due to potential tariffs

2: Found the MPC stimulus in the previous week to be somewhat underwhelming.

Was expecting the stimulus to be more targetted on consumption, and lead to further absorbtion of excess inventory in housing, and recapitalise banks.

3: With higher bond yields globally now, the PBOC will struggle to cut rates further.

Having been underwhelmed with Chinese performance over the last few weeks, have decided to reverse that tactical allocation towards China and put that money back towards India.

And this is the opportunity foreign investors have been waiting for.

Stock Market LIVE Updates: Alexander Redman of CLSA on CLSA downgrading China and raising India

Stock Market LIVE Updates: Alexander Redman of CLSA, says investors have been telling him that this is precisely the opportunity foreign investors have been waiting for to build up their exposure to Indian equities. 

The markets has continued to outperform, and they've been nursing large underweight positions.

I see that the 12% selloff is sufficient to begin to encourage foreign investors to start to participate in Indian equities again.
