Tech Stocks Unlikely To Rebound Sharply If Nasdaq Remain In Bear Market

CHINA
  • The global risk-off sentiment triggered by the renewed geopolitical tensions and surging stagflation risks have left China equities vulnerable in recent weeks despite PBoC easing policy.
  • Last week, PBoC reported that credit demand weakened sharply in April amid Covid lockdowns significantly disrupting the economic activity.
  • Even thought the annual change in China ‘liquidity’ keeps rising, and is currently pricing in a rebound in liquidity-sensitive stocks such as tech equities (chart below), market uncertainty and the significant deceleration in the Chinese economy could limit the upside gains on domestic risky assets.
  • We saw that JPM recently upgraded some tech stocks (i.e. Tencent, Alibaba, Meituan…) to overweight.
  • However, we would need to see a low in US growth stocks to see a strong rebound in China tech; it will be difficult to see China tech stocks trending higher while Nasdaq remains in a bear market.
  • The lack of visibility in markets, no convictions, rising credit spreads make it hard to see a 'healthy' rebound in markets for now.
