1. 2019 Semiconductors: 5%+ Decline

An earlier post outlined the general direction of the Objective Analysis 2019 forecast but didn’t provide any numbers.  In this post I explain the 5%+ decrease in revenues that the market will experience and how and why various elements play into that number.

2. HK Connect Discovery – January Snapshot

This is a monthly version of our HK Connect Weekly note, in which I highlight Hong Kong-listed companies leading the southbound flow weekly. Over the past month, we have seen the flow turning from outflow to inflow. Our previous insights published in Jan can be found in the links below. In this insight, we will focus on the month flow to get a bigger picture vs the weekly flow.
