Interesting report on Hong Kong
David Fuller's view I have only received this report today and
with meetings and now office carpet replacement as I type this copy, I have
not had more than a quick scan. However, I have been saying recently that I
would not be surprised if China outperformed, for a change, due to easier monetary
policy.
The Shanghai
A-Shares Index, which I have frequently shown, has probably formed a higher
reaction low which would be confirmed by a sustained break above 2600. I would
give this outlook the benefit of the doubt, provided we do not see another countermanding
downward dynamic such as the large key day reversal from just below 2600 on
14th March.
Those
of us who are not citizens of China mainly deal in shares listed in the Hang
Seng Index (weekly & daily)
and the Hang Seng China Enterprises (H-Shares) Index (weekly
& daily). Currently, a close beneath
20,000 by HSI would be require to indicate a further test of underlying trading
before this year's highs are exceeded. Once we have new highs for the year,
I would not be surprised if a self-feeding uptrend occurs as more of the many
China bears are converted to a bullish hypothesis. The real move may not get
underway before 2H 2012, as the report suggests, it should be rewarding when
it occurs.
