Citi's Upgrade on China's Consumer Sector: Citi analysts have upgraded China's consumer sector to "overweight," highlighting the shift towards domestic consumption amid U.S. trade tariffs, and added Atour Lifestyle to their top buy list while downgrading transportation due to tariff risks.
Market Outlook and Risks: The firm raised its Hang Seng Index target by 2% to 25,000 by end-2025 but noted ongoing earnings cuts in industrials and materials, along with potential delisting risks for Chinese firms in certain sectors despite many having Hong Kong listings as a backup.
