China's Weak Property Data Could Accelerate Policy Intervention -- Market Talk

0450 GMT - China's weak property data could accelerate policy intervention in 4Q, Daiwa analyst William Wu says in a research note. China's September new home sales were weaker than expected while home prices dropped faster. The analyst reckons easing measures introduced in Tier-1 cities since August have shown no clear impact on home prices. The contraction in residential investment widened in September, underscoring developers' caution amid rising uncertainties, the analyst notes. However, the weak data could be a positive catalyst for the sector's stocks as it may accelerate rollout of new stimulus, he says. In the long term, Daiwa prefers developers with high exposure to tier-1 cities and positioning in the high-end segment. Its top pick is China Resources Land. (sherry.qin@wsj.com)
