HSBC Upgrades Indian Equities to Overweight, Downgrades China to Neutral
HSBC has upgraded Indian equities to 'overweight' from 'neutral', citing resilient corporate earnings, improving growth prospects, and more attractive valuations after a prolonged market correction. The bank highlighted strong credit growth, supportive policy measures, and India's relatively low market volatility as factors enhancing investment appeal. Preferred sectors include banking, industrials like capital goods and cement, and consumer discretionary stocks such as retailers and automobiles. Conversely, HSBC downgraded Chinese equities to 'neutral' due to weak consumer confidence, property market stress, and limited growth catalysts.
