Short-term negative; long-term positive。
Most investors were quite nervous about commodities in the short term, butremained bullish on China’s long-term growth story. Some were concerned aboutproperty and infrastructure investment, factoring in a scenario where the Chinesegovernment's tightening is longer and harder than expected. Others believe mostnegatives are already priced in and that the Chinese government would start toloosen the policies once property prices decline 5-15%. We are short-termnegative but do not believe the government's tightening is long term or structural.
Bulk remains the favorite, underweight steel and cement。
In terms of sector picking, we are getting consistent feedback across the board.
Iron ore and coal are preferred over steel and cement. Upstream raw materialsare better shaped due to 1) tight supply, 2) strong bargaining power and 3) higherearnings visibility. Overcapacity in steel and cement remains the biggest concern,which caps margin expansion.
Investors looking for bottom fish ideas。
Most investors agreed that valuation of Chinese metals and mining stocks areattractive after recent correction. Given that the sector has underperformed theHang Seng Index by 11-37%, investors are searching for ways to bottom fish.
Conviction is still lacking because of macro headwinds.
Reiterate top pick of Shenhua and Hidili。
We did not receive much resistance when pushing Shenhua (B-1-7, HK$30.35)and Hidili (B-1-8, HK$7.01) as our top picks. We continue to like Shenhua due to1) a forward P/E premium over peers that has narrowed to a historical low; 2) thepotential to further increase spot sales and ASP; and 3) strong, visible productiongrowth. Hidili is our top pick in coking coal because of 1) the rising coking coalprice on supply tightness; 2) strong organic volume growth at 52% CAGR overthree years; and 3) its improving execution capability due to managementrestructuring and new infrastructure.
