China's economic growth slowed in April, with industrial output rising 4.1% and retail sales only 0.2%, both missing forecasts. Domestic car sales fell 21.6%, marking seven months of decline. Fixed-asset investment contracted 1.6% in early 2026. Economists cite weak domestic demand and external risks from the Middle East conflict as factors. Despite a 5.0% growth in Q1, analysts warn of an uneven recovery, with the property market downturn continuing to impact growth.

- China's economic growth slowed in April, with industrial output increasing by only 4.1% and retail sales rising just 0.2%, significantly below expectations.  
- Factors such as high energy costs from the Iran war, weak domestic demand, and a drop in fixed-asset investment contributed to this downturn.  
- Economists warned that while exports held up, the ongoing property market downturn and rising input costs could further pressure the economy.

Asian markets opened unevenly on Wednesday, with the Hang Seng index gaining 1.2% while South Korea's Kospi fell 0.39% and Australia's ASX 200 slipped 0.28%. Investor sentiment was cautious following a tech selloff in the U.S. and concerns over AI spending sustainability. The MSCI Asia-Pacific index eased 0.2%, with Japan closed for a holiday. The divergence in market performance suggests selective buying rather than broad conviction, as traders await the Federal Reserve's policy decision and major earnings reports.

Moody's flags resilience in China economy, moves outlook to 'stable'

Rajiv Batra, a Singapore-based strategist at JPMorgan, stated that the property market recovery in Hong Kong is spreading to major mainland cities, and the wealth effect from the rebound in China's stock market is helping to revive housing demand. He pointed out that after five years of adjustment, early signs of recovery appeared in China's real estate sector in March, and it may be approaching a turning point. Batra remains optimistic about China's economic prospects, believing China will outperform other emerging markets

JPMorgan Says China's Property Market Nearing Turning Point, Will Boost Stock Rally

Chinese stocks are showing resilience due to haven demand for yuan-linked assets, recovering home prices, and the inclusion of tech start-ups in key indices. Optimism is rising as home prices in major cities stabilize and inflation trends emerge. The addition of AI firms to Hong Kong's indices is expected to attract fresh capital. Analysts suggest that the worst of China's economic downturn may be over, with a projected 5-10% gain in stocks by year-end, despite geopolitical uncertainties.
