<Research> JPM: Relaxation of 'Three Red Lines' for Chinese Developers is Not a Novel Development
JP Morgan Report on Chinese Property Developers: JP Morgan's report indicated a 6% rise in stock prices of Chinese property developers, attributed to market speculation and the easing of monthly reporting requirements on the "Three Red Lines" by Chinese authorities.
Market Reaction Analysis: The broker suggested that the significant price increase may not solely be due to the news, as the reporting requirement has not been enforced for years, leaving room for other speculative market behaviors.
Future Market Outlook: JP Morgan believes that Chinese property developers may continue to outperform the market leading up to key political events in March and April, favoring stocks like CHINA RES LAND, CHINA RES MIXC, and CHINA JINMAO.
Best Investment Recommendation: Among the developers, LONGFOR GROUP is highlighted as offering the best risk/reward potential in a policy-driven market rally, despite its current short selling ratios.

Future Outlook: JPMorgan believes the performance of the Chinese property sector may continue to exceed market expectations until the Two Sessions in March and the CCP Politburo meeting in April.
Investment Recommendations: The report highlighted optimism for specific companies like CHINA RES LAND and LONGFOR GROUP, with the latter being noted for the best risk-reward potential in a policy-driven market.
