• The MSCI Asia Pacific ex Japan index is below the low end of our 210-
260 range. Investor feedback is universally bearish. Developed markets
are at a 12-year low. But, encouragingly, emerging markets equities are
outperforming developed market equities, but we see this as more a
reflection of the latter's weakness. We acknowledge that making any
progress to generate growth and returns this year for policy makers or
investors will likely be a slog. In this report we revisit our rotate into
early cyclicals at the low end of the trading range.
• But our medium-term outlook remains positive, driven by our view that
aggressive monetary and fiscal actions will result in EM Asian
economies being first out of this recession. The market seems to have
little confidence in this view. But this seems understandable as for now
only China and India are generating a few encouraging economic data
points.
• Cyclicals in the US have started outperforming since 19 February,
despite the new low in the markets. We find this is encouraging. Early
cyclicals in Asia are trading at close to all-time lows. We would start
adding risk now. In this report, we highlight the absolute levels at which
we would accumulate the key early cyclicals in Asia.
• The momentum in EM currencies is negative. Our strategists do expect
this to reverse. Within Asia, the Korean Won is the outlier, down 18%ytd
vs -4%ytd for ADXY. We have tactically upgraded Korea from
underweight to overweight.
• The key risk that we see to Asian equities is their correlation to
developed markets, which are at their bear market lows. To defy this
gravity, local economic data need to improve soon; we note that China
will release combined January and February data early this month. For
more on risks to our views, please see page 19.
