Citi Strategists Reduce Korean Stock Holdings, Downgrade Emerging Asian Markets to Neutral

Deep News07-03 17:22

Analysts at Citi have announced a reduction in their exposure to South Korean equities and a revision of their stance on emerging markets in Asia.

In a report released on Friday, strategists including Adam Pickett stated they have trimmed their remaining long positions in the South Korean Kospi index and downgraded their overweight rating on emerging Asian markets within their global asset allocation to a neutral stance.

This decision was partly influenced by recent downgrades to the semiconductor sector by Citi's U.S. strategists. The analysts expressed concern that "when the semiconductor sector peaks, the overall market may peak concurrently."

Despite these adjustments, Citi maintains its overweight rating on U.S. equities and continues to hold a tactically positive view on European stocks.
