Morgan Stanley's equity strategists in Singapore and Hong Kong predict a rebound in Chinese stocks as geopolitical tensions ease following a ceasefire in the Iran conflict. The mainland China CSI 300 stock index rose over 4% and the Hang Seng Index increased by 3% after the announcement. The strategists emphasize the potential for recovery in companies generating over 5% of their revenue from the Middle East, particularly in sectors like artificial intelligence and renewable energy. They identified three key stocks: Horizon Robotics, which fell 16%, Zoomlion Heavy Industry, down 15%, and Suzhou TFC Optical Communication, which dropped 10.9%. While the report highlights resilience in China's industrial and renewable energy sectors, it also notes that uncertainties in the economic outlook, including a softer-than-expected consumer price increase, present headwinds for earnings. Upcoming reports on March trade data and first-quarter GDP will provide further insights into China's economic performance.
