Chinese Property Market Still Hurt by Price Trends, Low Confidence -- Market Talk

Dow Jones01-29

0423 GMT - The easing of home purchase restrictions in China's Guangzhou is likely to have limited impact on the local housing market given that those policies were already relatively loose, Nomura analysts Jizhou Dong and Riley Jin write in a research note. The easing in Guangzhou could help with demand for home upgrading but softer home price trends and low homebuyers confidence could continue to dampen sales, they add. In the short term, market sentiment may helped by recent government support in the sector, with Longfor and Seazen Group shares likely to outperform, but Nomura remains cautious on the Chinese property sector long term, until there are meaningful measures from Beijing or a bottoming of property sales sentiment.
