Hong Kong Stocks Gain Some Steam Back After Citigroup Declares China's "Cyclical Bottom Is Here"
Portfolio Pulse from Daniel Harrison
Citigroup has raised its growth forecast for China to 5% for 2023, citing improved retail sales and industrial production. This news, along with the approved restructuring of Sunac China Holdings Limited's debt, lifted Hong Kong stocks. However, most stocks failed to hold onto the gains. Alibaba and Trip.com rose in the morning session but ended around 0.5% lower. JD Logistics Inc. ended the day 0.7% higher, while Sunac's shares ended the day 6.3% higher. China Aoyuan Group Limited and China Evergrande Group Limited declined by 2.2% and 11%, respectively.
