The negative China market narrative is too aggressively priced now. In particular, we think that Chinese economic stress has already been priced in and any surprise leans to the upside. We also think the financial crisis narrative is way overhyped and China’s stimulus is likely to shift sentiment in H2 and early 2024.
With US data surprises picking up negative momentum, we also see the US economy slowing in H2, which is likely to drain the USD of support in the months ahead. Note that our house call is that the Fed is at terminal.
