Report Summary
JPMorgan APAC Specialist Sales daily covering four key themes: HK Banks face a tug-of-war between higher US rates as a tailwind and China's new ODI regulation creating overhang for cross-border wealth; India Banks see INR depreciation pause post-RBI with a positive 1Q GDP surprise; Japan Banks see Aozora Bank upgraded to Neutral as legacy drags exhaust; and Korea/Taiwan wealth effect from stock market rallies driving incremental consumption.
Key Takeaways
- Higher US rates are a tailwind for HK Banks, but China's new ODI framework that includes individual residents for the first time creates overhang until detailed measures are released
- Aozora Bank upgraded from Underweight to Neutral as most EPS drags (credit ETF legacy losses) are exhausted, with upside from GMO Aozora Net Bank subsidiary and investment banking fees
- India positioning is at a 17-year low for FPI ownership and most shorted by CTAs, while RBI used non-policy measures to attract capital inflows
- Korea household equity wealth creation of W1,065T YTD implies W14T of incremental consumption via wealth effect
