    Business and Market Discussion / View from Japan

    Presenter:Peter Lewis

    Hong Kong’s GDP contracted 1.4% y/y in the second quarter, following a revised 3.9% decline in the first three months of the year, putting the SAR in a technical recession. The number was worse than economists’ median forecast for a 0.2% decline. Between the first and second quarters, the economy improved by 0.9%. The decline in GDP was mainly attributable to the weak performance in external trade during the quarter, with exports of goods dropping further, falling 8.6% compared to a decline of 4.5% in the first quarter. Private consumption remained virtually flat.

    Hong Kong Chief Executive, John Lee, said the government has decided to shorten the seven-day hotel quarantine requirement for inbound travellers, but the Health Bureau and the Hospital Authority have to look at various data before any concrete decisions are made. Mr. Lee said that easing travel restrictions to the mainland and the rest of the world are not mutually exclusive goals and both should be “pursued in full force”. 
    Economic data released from China on Monday provided further evidence of a slowdown in demand for the mainland manufacturing sector. The Caixin/Markit manufacturing purchasing managers’ index eased to 50.4 in July from June’s 13-month high of 51.7. Output, new orders and employment were all weaker. 
    US-listed Chinese stocks, the offshore yuan, and Taiwan dollar non-deliverable forwards have all fallen on news that US House Speaker Nancy Pelosi plans to visit Taiwan tomorrow, and possibly stay overnight tonight. She will likely meet with Taiwan’s leader Tsai Ing-wen in Taipei tomorrow. Beijing has threatened serious consequences, including possible military action, if she visits the island. She will be the highest-ranking US politician to visit Taiwan while in office in 25 years. 
    On today’s Money Talk, we’re joined by John Schofield at Tempus Investment and Kenny Wen from KGI Asia. With a view from Japan is John Beirne from the Asian Development Bank Institute.

    John Schofield, Managing Director at Tempus Investment thinks that if the SAR government removes quarantine restrictions, the SAR economy could quickly recover from recession.



    Kenny Wen, Head of Investment Strategy at KGI Asia suggests that Hong Kong stocks are in correction territory with little upside for the next two months due to factors such as worsening US-China relations.
