Chinese Automakers May Seek Overseas Expansion to Offset Slowing Domestic Demand -- Market Talk
Dow Jones01-15
0210 GMT - Chinese automakers are likely to put more efforts in global expansion to offset slowing domestic demand, Nomura analysts write in a note. China's auto market is cooling down further with the first quarter likely to be a "freezing winter" period, especially for the mass-market models segment, as both trade-in and scrapping policies have become percentage-based, they say. The trade-in subsidies were a one-off payment earlier depending on the car type. BYD is Nomura's top pick in the sector versus smaller players, considering muted demand and potential rise in costs.(jiahui.huang@wsj.com; @ivy_jiahuihuang)
