2.The reasons for the rise of HK stocks and the outlook from 3 TOP institutions

The factors for the rise in Hong Kong stocks can be considered from the following perspectives.

See from the Hong Kong stock market trends over the years, the HSI is mainly affected by the mainland China economy, U.S. dollar liquidity, and Sino-US relations. The mainland China economy determines the profitability of Hong Kong stocks, U.S. dollar liquidity determines interest rates and valuation levels, and Sino-U.S. relations affect the risk preference environment for Hong Kong stocks.

In the past 12 years, if any two or more of the three factors are positive, the Hong Kong stock market will rise for the whole year; if any two or more of the three factors are negative, the Hong Kong stock market will fall for the whole year.

• In 2022, the mainland economy was affected by the downturn of the real estate industry, the ravages of the pandemic, the pressure on consumption, and the weakening of overseas demand on the export side. The PMI index has been fluctuating near the dividing line of the prosperity.
• In terms of USD$USD Index(USDindex.FOREX)$ liquidity, troubled by the worst inflation in 40 years, the FED continues to raise interest rates, putting pressure on global asset prices.
• In terms of Sino-US relations, the turmoil in the auditing and supervision of Chinese concept stocks, the introduction of the "Inflation Redon Act" and the "Chip Technology Act", the conflict between China and the United States has intensified in terms of finance, technology and geopolitics.

Under the superposition of the three factors, Hong Kong stocks have continued to fall for more than 20 months from mid-February 2021 to the end of October 2022, and the duration has exceeded the previous decline cycle since the subprime mortgage crisis in 2008.

From the point of view of the decline, the largest drop in Hong Kong stocks this round reached 53.19%, surpassing the decline cycle brought about by the European debt crisis in 2011, the A-share stock market crash in 2015, and the Sino-US trade friction in 2018, second only to the down cycle of the subprime mortgage crisis in 2008.

Looking forward to 2023, the three factors are expected to usher in improvement:

• Under the optimization of pandemic prevention and control, the 'three arrows' liquidity package for real estate support, and the introduction of the "Strategic Planning Outline for Expanding Domestic Demand (2022-2035)" by CPC Central Committee, the mainland China's economy is expected to recover.
• In terms of U.S. dollar liquidity, the lower-than-expected U.S. CPI data in October and November strengthened the global market’s confidence in the arrival of an inflection point in U.S. inflation. If the pace of the Fed’s interest rate hikes in 2023 may gradually slow down, assuming that inflation can fall back to the target level and the unemployment rate rises significantly, the 2023Q4 Fed may even start the cycle of interest rate cuts ahead of schedule!
• In terms of Sino-US relations, the leaders of the two countries met at the G20 summit, and it is expected that Sino-US relations will run smoothly in the next period of time.
