RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH INVESTING. The price of equity securities may rise or fall because of changes in the broad market or changes in a company’s financial condition, sometimes rapidly or unpredictably. These price movements may result from factors affecting individual companies, sectors or industries selected for the portfolio or the securities market as a whole, such as changes in economic or political conditions. Equity securities are subject to “stock market risk” meaning that stock prices in general (or in particular, the prices of the types of securities in which a portfolio invests) may decline over short or extended periods of time. When the value of a portfolio’s securities goes down, an investment in a fund decreases in value. There is no guarantee that the use of long and short positions will succeed in limiting a strategy’s exposure to domestic stock market movements, capitalization, sector-swings or other risk factors. Investing in emerging markets carry additional risk relative to investments in developed markets. Investment in a portfolio involved in long and short selling may have higher portfolio turnover rates. This will likely result in additional tax consequences. Short selling involves certain risks, including additional costs associated with covering short positions and a possibility of unlimited loss on certain short sale positions. Fixed income investing is subject to the risk that a counterparty will fail to make payments when due or default completely. If an issuer’s financial condition worsens, the credit quality of the issuer may deteriorate making it difficult for an investor to sell such investments. Changes in foreign currency exchange rates will affect the value of fixed income securities .For example, when the value of the U.S. dollar rises in value relative to a foreign currency, an investment in that country loses value because that currency is worth fewer U.S. dollars. Devaluation of a currency by a country’s government or banking authority also will have a significant impact on the value of any investments denominated in that currency. Currency markets generally are not as regulated as securities markets. High yield fixed income securities are considered to be speculative and are subject to greater risk of loss, greater sensitivity to economic changes, valuation difficulties and potential illiquidity. Loans are subject to additional risks including subordination to other creditors, no collateral or limited rights in collateral, lack of a regular trading market, extended settlement periods, liquidity risks, prepayment risks, and lack of publicly available information.  Derivatives, including futures contracts, options, swaps, credit default swaps, forward contracts and currency forwards, may be riskier than other types of investments and may increase the volatility of a portfolio. Derivatives may be sensitive to changes in economic and market conditions and may create leverage, which could result in losses that significantly exceed the original investment. Derivatives create exposure to counterparty risk, which is the risk that the derivative counterparty will not fulfill its contractual obligations (and includes credit risk associated with the counterparty). Certain derivatives are synthetic instruments that attempt to replicate the performance of certain reference assets. With regard to such derivatives, an investor does not have a claim on the reference assets and is subject to enhanced counterparty risk. Derivatives may not perform as expected, so an investor may not realize the intended benefits. When used for hedging, the change in value of a derivative may not correlate as expected with the currency, security or other risk being hedged. In addition, given their complexity, derivatives can be mispriced or improperly valued.

Will China’s stimulus move the needle this time?

Hi, I am Gabriela Santos, Chief Market Strategist for the Americas at J.P. Morgan Asset Management. Welcome to the On the Minds of Investors. Today's topic is "Will China’s stimulus move the needle this time?" Chinese equities had a spectacular end to September, with the MSCI China up 21% from September 24th to 30th. The catalyst was the announcement of a series of economic stimulus measures focused on the housing market, domestic consumption, and the stock market. China has implemented similar policies with limited economic effect. However, this time was different: the measures were coordinated across monetary, fiscal, and financial regulators and summed up to the largest stimulus since 2015. After the lowest nominal growth rate in twenty years, Chinese policymakers have found a new sense of urgency to boost economic momentum. Will this stimulus move the needle for China’s economy and market? China’s equity market has had short-lived recoveries in the past, thus investors should look for: more demand-side fiscal measures, improvement in domestic confidence, and structural policy reforms. Whether China’s recent easing changes the strategic outlook for Chinese equities remains to be seen, but the focus from its policymakers on managing the growth downside is supportive for international equities which are more exposed to China’s economy.

Measures announced by Chinese policymakers were multi-faceted:

  • Monetary policy: Cuts to lending rates and existing mortgage rates, as well as bank reserve requirements. Six large banks were injected with additional capital.
  • Property market: Reduced downpayment requirements for second home purchases (now unified with first homes). Creation of relending facility to support the purchase of unsold homes by regional state-owned companies.
  • Stock market: Creation of swap facility with securities brokers and insurance companies to fund stock purchases. Study of specialized refinancing facility for listed companies to buy back shares.
  • Fiscal policy: Policymakers could increase the fiscal deficit to reduce taxes, increase spending and allow for more fiscal transfer from the central government to local governments. 

Once Mainland Chinese markets reopen on October 8th after the National Day holiday, investors will look for more details on these measures. In the past two years, rate cuts and liquidity injections have yet to boost credit growth or economic activity due to cautious sentiment by households and the corporate sector. The question now is whether these more forceful measures move the needle. To gain more confidence, investors should look for: 1) National Day tourism and consumption numbers to get an early glimpse of whether sentiment has improved, 2) more announcements on the fiscal side, especially focused on the demand rather than supply-side, 3) additional policy steps to deal with structural (not just cyclical) headwinds for China’s economy, and 4) spillovers to trade and capital flows from the U.S. election.

China’s market rally over the past week shows what depressed valuations, low investor positioning and a policy catalyst can do. Since 2022, Chinese equities have had similar rallies: +60% October 2022-January 2023 and +33% January-May 2024. China’s forward price-to-earnings ratio has now moved higher from 9.1x to 11.0x today, in line with its 20-year average. From here, economic and earnings momentum will need to improve for China to go back to being a strategic rather than merely tactical investment. However, more broadly, China’s easing plus global central bank monetary easing, is supportive for global risk assets – and gives investors more confidence in international markets more exposed to China’s slowdown, such as European and Asian equities.

  3. Additional policy steps to deal with structural (not just cyclical) headwinds for China’s economy, and
  4. Spillovers to trade and capital flows from the U.S. election.

China’s market rally over the past week shows what depressed valuations, low investor positioning and a policy catalyst can do. Since 2022, Chinese equities have had similar rallies: +60% October 2022-January 2023 and +33% January-May 2024. China’s forward price-to-earnings ratio has now moved higher from 9.1x to 11.0x today, in line with its 20-year average. From here, economic and earnings momentum will need to improve for China to go back to being a strategic rather than merely tactical investment. However, more broadly, China’s easing plus global central bank monetary easing, is supportive for global risk assets – and gives investors more confidence in international markets more exposed to China’s slowdown, such as European and Asian equities.

Hi, I am Gabriela Santos, Chief Market Strategist for the Americas at J.P. Morgan Asset Management. Welcome to the On the Minds of Investors. Today's topic is "Will China’s stimulus move the needle this time?" Chinese equities had a spectacular end to September, with the MSCI China up 21% from September 24th to 30th. The catalyst was the announcement of a series of economic stimulus measures focused on the housing market, domestic consumption, and the stock market. China has implemented similar policies with limited economic effect. However, this time was different: the measures were coordinated across monetary, fiscal, and financial regulators and summed up to the largest stimulus since 2015. After the lowest nominal growth rate in twenty years, Chinese policymakers have found a new sense of urgency to boost economic momentum. Will this stimulus move the needle for China’s economy and market? China’s equity market has had short-lived recoveries in the past, thus investors should look for: more demand-side fiscal measures, improvement in domestic confidence, and structural policy reforms. Whether China’s recent easing changes the strategic outlook for Chinese equities remains to be seen, but the focus from its policymakers on managing the growth downside is supportive for international equities which are more exposed to China’s economy.

Measures announced by Chinese policymakers were multi-faceted:

  • Monetary policy: Cuts to lending rates and existing mortgage rates, as well as bank reserve requirements. Six large banks were injected with additional capital.
  • Property market: Reduced downpayment requirements for second home purchases (now unified with first homes). Creation of relending facility to support the purchase of unsold homes by regional state-owned companies.
  • Stock market: Creation of swap facility with securities brokers and insurance companies to fund stock purchases. Study of specialized refinancing facility for listed companies to buy back shares.
  • Fiscal policy: Policymakers could increase the fiscal deficit to reduce taxes, increase spending and allow for more fiscal transfer from the central government to local governments. 

Once Mainland Chinese markets reopen on October 8th after the National Day holiday, investors will look for more details on these measures. In the past two years, rate cuts and liquidity injections have yet to boost credit growth or economic activity due to cautious sentiment by households and the corporate sector. The question now is whether these more forceful measures move the needle. To gain more confidence, investors should look for: 1) National Day tourism and consumption numbers to get an early glimpse of whether sentiment has improved, 2) more announcements on the fiscal side, especially focused on the demand rather than supply-side, 3) additional policy steps to deal with structural (not just cyclical) headwinds for China’s economy, and 4) spillovers to trade and capital flows from the U.S. election.
