Free AccessZero-Covid Policy Pushes Business Surveys Lower in January
- We saw overnight that China PMI surveys (Caixin) decelerated in January as the ‘zero-Covid’ policy continues to weigh on the economic activity.
- Last week, manufacturing PMI came in below expectations at 49.1 (vs. 50 exp.), its lowest level since the February 2020 plunge, and is now standing below the 50-line threshold that separates growth from contraction.
- The downward revision in growth expectations has been weighing on domestic risky assets in the past year,; equities are still trading at ‘depressed’ levels despite China official clearly signaling easing policy.
- As a result, support for ‘safe’ LT government bonds has been rising, with China 10Y yield constantly reaching new lows.
- China 10Y yield broke below its key support at 2.80% in the end of December and reached a new local low at 2.67%, which corresponds to the 76.4% Fibo retracement of the 2.46%-3.36% range.
- A break below that level would open the door for a move down to 2.60% (May 2020 lows).
- Investors will focus on China aggregate financing data in the coming week; aggregate financing is expected to surge to 5.4tr CNY in January, up from revised 2.37tr CNY the previous month.
- The chart below shows that after contracting sharply in 2021, China ‘liquidity’ (TSF 12M sum) has reverted since October 2021 and could start to increase significantly in the coming months.
