UBS report indicates that global commodity prices are expected to rise by 9% in 2025, putting Chinese companies in a dilemma of either raising prices or facing declining profit margins. If re-inflation is successfully achieved, the MSCI China Index has a 20% upside potential. UBS adjusts its portfolio, downgrading the software sector to "underweight," adjusting consumer staples and real estate to "neutral," reducing positions in the internet sector, and removing NetEase. Tencent and Alibaba remain favored

Haitong International released a report stating that Alibaba's revenue for the third fiscal quarter increased by 2.3% year-on-year, reaching RMB 289.3 billion. Customer management revenue grew by 4.4%, international digital commerce group revenue increased by 18.5%, and cloud business revenue rose by 38%. Due to weak consumer trends, the growth of customer management revenue may be moderate. The cloud business will be the main growth engine. The firm raised its revenue forecast for the third fiscal quarter to RMB 289 billion and its full-year revenue forecast to RMB 1,034 billion, but lowered its net profit forecasts for the third fiscal quarter and the full year to RMB 29 billion and RMB 93.6 billion, respectively.

There is always plenty of drama around Chinese New Year. After Trump ramped up tariffs throughout 2025, the policy was effectively gutted, leaving no legal footing.In 2026, following a rush of domestic AI model launches, China ADRs never had a 'DS moment'. Model-linked names were the only ones that outperformed.Also, during Chinese New Year 2026, despite decent consumer data, HK stocks fell first and then rose, an ineffective swing. There was no standalone 'Chinese New Year bull run' during HK’s solo trading days.With Trump-era tariffs in his second term ruled unlawful, what could this mean for markets ahead? The days of blanket re-rating may be over...
