Shenzhen's Easing Home-Buying Curbs Should Help Property Sales -- Market Talk

Dow Jones05-07

0654 GMT - China's latest attempt to help its property market--in the form of easing home-buying restrictions in Shenzhen--should help consumer sentiment, Nomura analysts Jizhou Dong and Riley Jin write in a research note. Sales recovered somewhat after a previous round of easing in the first-tier city in February, with March secondary home transactions in Shenzhen reaching their highest level in a year, they note. Nomura likes KE Holdings as a property sector proxy. It also favors China Resources Land and Longfor Group, noting that potentially stronger-than-expected or sooner-than-expected policy relaxations may help developers. The Hang Seng Mainland Properties Index is 1.0% higher. (tracy.qu@wsj.com)
