<li>After 3 months of consistent decline, our China Property Sentiment Indicator is showing notable signs of recovery</li>
<li>News attribution suggests this is primarily driven by decreasing negative coverage as the Evergrande liquidity crisis was averted limiting broader contagion; continued momentum on developer spin-offs of property management subsidiaries; and strong Golden Week consumption metrics related to home furnishings &amp; building products (a secondary parameter in our indicator)</li>
<li>Our text mining already incorporates recent negative news on shrinking land premiums, as well as coverage on (expectedly) heavy discounting during Golden Week sales; but the overall tone of coverage remains "less negative" in the month-to-date</li>
<li>The TMI China Property Sentiment Indicator has been 58% correlated with Chinese real estate equities (via CHIR ETF), 40%-54% with Chinese HY (via KCCB ETF), and 65% with copper prices (on a T24M basis)</li>
