Investment Rating - The report maintains an Equal-weight (EW) stance on MSCI China within the global EM/APXJ framework [9]. Core Insights - The report anticipates higher near-term market volatility due to the US imposing additional tariffs on China, raising the total tariff rate to up to 65% [2][4]. - The A-share market is viewed as better positioned for hedging and diversification compared to the offshore market, as A-share investors are less sensitive to tariff changes [3]. - The direct impact on earnings from the tariffs is expected to be smaller than the overall drag on macroeconomic growth, with the MSCI China universe generating only 13% of its total revenue from markets outside China, and less than 3% from the US [7]. Summary by Sections Market Volatility - The report highlights that the recent tariff hikes could lead to elevated market volatility as the market adjusts to the potential economic impacts [2][4].
