Despite a tough second quarter marred by Covid lockdowns, recent forward looking economic indicators for China mark a potential uplift for the world’s second largest economy. Boosted by stimulus, a rising trend would sit in sharp contrast to developed markets, currently engaged in a battle against both soaring inflation and looming recession. We examine these diverging East/West trends and look at how they could play out across different asset classes. We also focus on recent adjustments to our tactical asset allocation.
