Wharf (Hldgs)

Stocks in Hong Kong and China closed the week out lower Friday as weak consumer sentiment and property market jitters resurfaced.

The Hang Seng Index ended a three-day winning streak to end down 2.2% at 17,813.45 while China&rsquo;s CSI 300 Index closed 1.1% lower at 3,663.41.

Consumer Price Inflation (CPI) in China <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2023-10-13/china-s-consumer-prices-flatline-as-economic-concerns-persist?cmpid=BBD101323_CAS&amp;utm_medium=email&amp;utm_source=newsletter&amp;utm_term=231013&amp;utm_campaign=closeasia" style="color:#0563c1">slowed</a> to just half the expected amount, at 0.1%, while export growth slowed less than expected. The weakness in consumption demand hit consumer stocks Alibaba Group Holding Limited (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BABA#NYSE">BABA</a>) and Tencent Holdings Limited (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TCEHY#OTC">TCEHY</a>) more than 3% in the Hong Kong trading session.

JD.com, Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/JD#NASDAQ">JD</a>) plunged 10% after Citigroup (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/C#NYSE">C</a>), Daiwa Securities Group Inc (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DSECF#OTC">DSECF</a>) and Jefferies Financial Group Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/JEF#NYSE">JEF</a>) all <a href="https://finance.yahoo.com/news/jd-com-shares-hit-record-092031381.html" style="color:#0563c1">cut</a> price and revenue targets for the company citing slower-than-expected retail growth in China and rumors that a businessman with the same surname as the company&rsquo;s Chairman had been arrested.

Consumer and asset prices are in a death-spiral now with deflation on the cards in mainland China, prompting stimulus proposals to shore up growth in the world&rsquo;s second largest economy to have been sent to Beijing this week.

One such proposal that is reportedly being considered by policymakers is a multi-billion RMB fund that will buy up depressed stock prices. Lower equity prices in China are one of the main reasons for a lack in consumption confidence as households worry they will continue to have less money to spend, according to local reports.

In the property sector, Morgan Stanley (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MS#NYSE">MS</a>) analysts Praveen Choudhary&nbsp;and&nbsp;Jeffrey Mak revised previous estimates for the Hong Kong property market, calling their previous expectations for a rebound this year &ldquo;too optimistic&rdquo;. The bank says it now foresees a trifecta of declines in property prices on the island continuing from 2022 into this year and next.

Last year was one of the Hong Kong housing market&rsquo;s worst on record, with declines of 16%. The bank&rsquo;s analysts expect there to be another 5%-10% decline in 2024 in property values in Hong Kong on top of this year&rsquo;s 10% fall. That will push about 5% of all mortgages into negative equity territory, according to Bloomberg Analytics data. &nbsp;

Morgan Stanley <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2023-10-12/morgan-stanley-now-sees-hong-kong-home-price-slump-through-2024?cmpid=BBD101323_CAS&amp;utm_medium=email&amp;utm_source=newsletter&amp;utm_term=231013&amp;utm_campaign=closeasia" style="color:#0563c1">downgraded</a> Wharf Holdings Ltd. (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/WARFF#OTC">WARFF</a>), a property development firm, to &ldquo;underweight&rdquo; from &ldquo;overweight&rdquo; and the property market overall to &ldquo;in-line&rdquo; from &ldquo;attractive&rdquo;. Wharf Holdings finished nearly 1% lower.

Sino-Ocean Group Holding Limited (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SIOLY#OTC">SIOLY</a>) became the latest in a long line of Chinese property developers to default on its bond repayments after <a href="https://www1.hkexnews.hk/listedco/listconews/sehk/2023/1013/2023101300047.pdf" style="color:#0563c1">asking</a> its creditors to wait a further two months for scheduled interest payments Friday. The announcement <a href="https://www.scmp.com/business/article/3234657/sino-ocean-freezes-payments-us4-billion-bonds-other-offshore-debt-pursue-restructuring-chinas" style="color:#0563c1">follows</a> a freezing of $4 billion of offshore debt by the company last month. Sino Ocean bucked the trend of most property developers, up 2.2%, as investors bet that the company&rsquo;s creditors would approve the delay at the meeting next Monday.

Among other notable Hong Kong real estate stocks, Country Garden Holdings Limited (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CTRYF#OTC">CTRYF</a>) was 1.3% lower by the end of the day&rsquo;s trading and beleaguered Sunac China Holdings Limited (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SNCNQ#OTC">SNCNQ</a>) fell over 3%.

In IPOs, Bloomberg <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2023-10-13/didi-plans-2024-hong-kong-listing-in-comeback-bid-that-would-benefit-softbank?cmpid=BBD101323_CAS&amp;utm_medium=email&amp;utm_source=newsletter&amp;utm_term=231013&amp;utm_campaign=closeasia" style="color:#0563c1">reported</a> that Didi Global Inc (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DIDIY#OTC">DIDIY</a>), China&rsquo;s largest ride-hailing company, is planning a Hong Kong Stock Exchange listing in what is one of the exchange&rsquo;s worst years for new listings in a decade and a half. The company has been buying back stock from former and current employees in preparation for the listing, according to insiders.
