In the absence of an outright LPR cut later this month, the latest RRR move's impact on the real economy may be rather modest. 
Assuming CNY500bn of MLFs will be withdrawn in the coming months, the net injection this time around is CNY700bn, about 40% of an average month's new loans.
We would watch out for a potential bubble in the onshore credit market before incremental liquidity benefits the broader economy.

Technical Analysis

FTSE China A50 Index / Technical Analysis

There has been a tendency to over-exaggerate bad news from China. This has been going on for a long time (years). Over the past three months there has been plenty of concerning news from crackdowns on Tech companies to changes in the education sector and developments in real estate.Despite all this bad news, the FTSE A50 Index has not moved lower since the end of July. Instead, the A50 Index is now beginning to bounce back, taking out decent levels and posting an important weekly close on Friday. Even the more troubled Hang Seng posted a bullish reversal week. If anything, this price action is more impressive in the face of a generally strong Renminbi.Once again it looks as though sentiment has been too stretched in China. Is the bad news already in the price? These charts suggest the answer to that, at least in the near term, is yes.

Technical and Quantitative Research

Vermilion Research

Vermilion’s objective is to deliver timely, actionable, and unique technical research to professional investors through the application of our various technical indicators.

Our research strategists seek to highlight securities which we believe are at major inflection points, based on our various technical and quantitative indicators, and offer asymmetric risk/return profiles. Our unique research methodology, centered on relative strength, enables our strategists to deliver superior investment recommendations.

Our process begins by organizing the universe of actively traded stocks into discrete sectors, then into industry groups. We then apply our technical and quantitative tools to identify developing price trends. Once attractive trends are identified within a selected sector or group, we screen for individual stocks which we believe offer the best risk/reward profile. We provide a historical perspective that often reveals, through our long-term charts, how price patterns often repeat themselves over time.

In last week's Int'l Compass (Sept. 2), we highlighted emerging markets (EEM-US, Shanghai Comp) and Japan (TOPIX, TOPIX Small) as areas of bullish interest, with short-term bullish inflections suggesting the tide was turning in favor of these markets. This remains the focus in today's report, and especially on Japan; bullish price inflections and breakouts have started to proliferate, which suggests this could be the start of a broad-based rally for Japan in the weeks and months ahead.

TSMC (Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing) / Technical Analysis

TSMC (Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing) (2330 TT)

TSMC (Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing)

Emerging market equities have been one of the worst areas to invest in 2021, but we see early signs of positive change. With the US dollar failing to break above resistance at $93.50 and the MSCI EM ETF (EEM-US) displaying a false breakdown at $52, we believe now is an opportune time to add exposure to emerging market equities. To be clear, we are not getting overly bullish on EM; we have favored developed int’l (EAFE) over EM since May, and we are now shifting back to a neutral stance between the two. We see reason to believe the tide is shifting in EM’s favor. Below we highlight attractive and actionable themes within EM.
