Chinese Equity Timing Signals and Sector Allocation in June 2022
Summary
This weekly report assesses the Chinese equity market after a rebound in early June 2022. Its timing framework compares 20-day and 120-day moving averages for a broad market index and combines their distance with a market breadth or “profit effect” measure. Although the shorter average remained below the longer one, the breadth measure turned positive, which the authors interpreted as an end to the preceding downtrend and a shift toward bottoming volatility.
The report also weighs macro risk and price resistance, warning that an interest-rate meeting and a resistance zone could prompt a short-term pullback. A two-beta industry model, analyst earnings forecasts, and valuation measures inform suggested sector exposures and a proposed portfolio allocation. The report gives market performance figures and specific model readings, but it is a dated snapshot rather than evidence of durable predictive power. It does not provide enough detail to independently reproduce or validate the timing and industry models.
Key ideas
- The framework classifies broad market conditions using the distance between short- and long-term moving averages.
- A newly positive market breadth measure was treated as evidence that the prior downtrend had ended.
- The report expected resistance and macro uncertainty to limit risk appetite and potentially trigger a pullback.
- A two-beta industry model and analyst earnings forecasts informed sector preferences.
- Valuation and trend signals were combined to set a suggested equity allocation.
