Asia has corrected 10%, propelled by Korea, Taiwan and Onshore China. AI capex anxiety, concerns about spike in inflation and interest rates and Middle East tensions are the main drivers.
Analysis of last 20 years' bear market shows that monetary policy tightening has been a regular feature of bear markets, unless severe macro-economic retrenchment (like in GFC) triggers the drawdown.
Asian policy rates are increasing but we don't think severe inflation spike is likely yet, unless the Iran war escalates sharply. We like materials, energy, AI "picks and shovels", financials.
