What should investors make of the market’s recent air pocket and subsequent recovery? John Authers, writing at Bloomberg, proposed an analytical framework where investors view the coronavirus outbreak mainly as a China problem. The companies with high China exposure have tanked in response to the virus scare and dramatically underperformed global stocks.
While global investors fret about the economic impact of China’s slowdown in the wake of the coronavirus infection, the PBOC has responded with a tsunami of liquidity to support the market. Moreover, extraordinary measures have been put in place to forbid short selling and to discourage major shareholders from selling their shares. In response, the Asian stock markets have rocketed upward after a brief corrective period, and global markets have followed suit with a risk-on tone.
These policy responses beg two obvious questions: 1) Is the melt-up back?; and 2) If the market is focused mainly on China and the coronavirus, should investors even try to fight the PBOC?
The jury is still out on those questions.
The short-term bull case is supported by abundant central bank liquidity, and emerging evidence of a pre-coronavirus cyclical rebound from non-China economies. On the other hand, bullish sentiment did not fully reset and valuation is extended.
In light of the risks evident in the market, we suggest that investment-oriented accounts maintain a neutral risk position, with an asset allocation roughly in line with policy asset mix.
