Another major international investment bank is optimistic about the prospects of China's stock market. Japan's Nomura Securities believes that investors should reduce their holdings of Chinese stocks and invest in the Malaysian and Indonesian stock markets instead.
According to a recent report by analysts at Nomura Securities, including Chetansett and others, the Malaysian and Indonesian stock markets are expected to benefit from the accelerated trend of US interest rate cuts, which is one of the reasons why the two countries' stock market ratings were upgraded from “neutral” to “increase in holdings.”
Nomura Securities also downgraded the MSCI China Index (MSCI China) rating from “increase in holdings” to “neutral.”
“Now is the time to enter the ASEAN stock market in a big way. In a scenario where the Federal Reserve is about to cut interest rates and investors are rekindling buying and selling in emerging markets, investing in the Indonesian stock market is probably the best bet.”
Last week, Federal Reserve Chairman Powell issued a clear signal to the outside world that interest rates will be cut starting in September.
Bloomberg pointed out that before Nomura Securities upgraded the Malaysian and Indonesian stock market ratings, foreign interest in the two countries' stock markets had already risen, and foreign capital inflows were recorded for two consecutive months.
“Investors have reason to take Nomura Securities reviews seriously. In December of last year, they raised Taiwan's stock market, and the Taiwan Weighted Index has risen 25% this year. The MSCI Asia Pacific Index rose 9.8% during the same period.”
Prior to Nomura Securities, there were actually quite a few internationally renowned investment banks or financial media, including J.P. Morgan Chase, Goldman Sachs, and Forbes, which were optimistic about the prospects of the Malaysian market.
