"TRUMP TRADING" THE CHINESE EQUITY MARKET - GS
With the upcoming U.S. presidential elections being the talk of the town for global markets and investors increasingly pricing in a possible return to the White House for former President Donald Trump, economists at Goldman Sachs pen their thoughts on potential winners and losers in Chinese equities.
Trump frequently threatens to impose major new tariffs or trade restrictions on China as well as on some European allies.
As such, GS expects the estimated fair value of the MSCI China index .dMICN00000PUS to be reduced to 50, down from 70 and off some 13% from current prices, in what they consider a "harsh case scenario", if Trump's proposed tariffs were to be fully implemented without being offset by any meaningful macro, policy and earnings factors.
Broadly speaking, GS economists anticipate that a 60% tariff rate on China exports could reduce Chinese headline GDP growth by as much as 2% cumulatively over one or two years, and depreciate the Chinese yuan to around 8 per dollar.
Earnings of listed exporters to the U.S. could fall as much 13% if all their revenues are subject to a 60% tariff, according to the analysis conducted by GS.
Referring to historical patterns, GS anticipates that Chinese exporters to the United States - EV and renewable supply chains and the Tech Hardware sector, which was at the forefront of the U.S.-China tensions between 2018 and 2020 - could face a more challenging backdrop. They write that the Chinese Internet sector, American Depository Receipts (ADR) and exchange operators would be better placed.
As per latest polls, Vice President Kamala Harris opened up a marginal two-percentage-point lead over Republican Trump after President Joe Biden ended his re-election campaign and passed the torch to her. However it's early days and Wall Street has to consider all eventualities.
