6、 equities are better exportdemand,more global risk-on sentiment,and faster pace of reforms(we feelthis latter point is essential,but we may not see much progress ahead of2Q13).Downside risks are a path to recovery that remains bumpier or aslope of recovery flatter than the market expects.Sept policy

12、rew our attention in the latest dataOctober data was largely predictable following the particularly strong September policyand sentiment indicators.The policy improvement that led in September turned into anoticeable pickup in industrial and investment activity in October,but consumption datausually
13、 lag by some time and remained lackluster.Interestingly,policy stance andsentiment recently took a step back,underpinning our view of a mild rather than sharprecovery,whether in terms of GDP growth(which should be evidenced by the next fewmonths top-down and bottom-up indicators)or earnings.What sur
14、prised us in the October data:Industrial activity data still leaned to the positive side,but were less alignedthan Sept:IP continued to pick up and electricity generation finally started to keeppace.Both HSBC and official PMI saw further improvement.Trade data weremixed as exports/imports edged up/d
15、own slightly.Refined oil products productionand highway freight throughput were both stable.Investment overall data set skewed to the positive:October FAI growth rate was flattish although infra FAI continued toaccelerate and property FAI was stable,manufacturing FAI drag continuedto worsen(particul
16、arly from mining and oil downstream areas).Property data recovered mom,but mostly owing to completions property completions recovered meaningfully from September lows forboth residential and non-residential.However,despite a rebound indevelopers new starts,new starts yoy remains in negative territor
17、y.Landsales also picked up slightly,previously just on volumes but now also onprices(which would put the sustainability of recovery at greater risk).Commodities trends diverged a bit.Steel prices continued to pick up,thanks to de-stocking.However,inventory inched up again for coal,copper,and aluminu
18、m,leading to modest retreat in ASPs.Cement pricesdiverged by region,with Eastern China prices rebounding the most.Wesee low visible inventories for most commodities and little motivation forrestocking now on an uncertain price outlook,so if demand continues topick up,these low inventory commodities
19、prices will likely rebound(thisexcludes structurally oversupplied commodities like aluminum).Capital goods also diverged,as excavator sales remained weak and didnot show signs of improvement.However,heavy-duty trucks(which havea larger component of replacement demand and a shorter life cycle)continu
20、ed their steady improvement in yoy sales.Consumption recovery appears to lag:Retails sales seasonally rose on absolute terms,but growth wasstable in October,which could be due to the early start of golden weekthis year(national day and mid-autumn festival holidays combined andstarted in late Septemb
21、er).Department store SSS meaningfully fell to negative territory,the firsttime since data became available.This was likely due to aforementionedseasonality.Our channel checks suggest a fairly robust rebound in earlyNovember.Auto sales yoy growth rate accelerated,while total volume wasflattish,but au

25、 prices havemeaningfully rebounded since early October,triggering some marketconcerns that CPI may pick up a bit into 4Q12.Capital market sentiment turned more negative as well:Earningsrevision sentiment reversed to the negative side again,although stillabove its August trough.A-share fund positions
26、 continued to slide alongwith the sluggish market performance.In addition,A-share new accountopenings tumbled to a new trough.Our current market views:Recovery largely expected;key is reformReasonable recovery is now consensus view.Our discussions with offshore investorsindicate that China has likel
27、y passed its cyclical trough in 3Q12 and that we are firmly in arecovery phase.While concrete data have yet to support this view across the board,wehave seen enough inflection in the leading indicators(i.e.,the investment and industrialactivity side)and we think that other lagging areas(like consump
28、tion)will follow.Cyclical nuances likely to be dictated by exports and policy.Cyclical upside anddownside surprises may now depend on how smoothly or sharply the fundamentalrecovery develops.Exports may be a key variable and its directional movement may be themost likely determinant of policy respon
29、se in China.In the absence of major volatility in thedata,our China economics team expects limited further policy loosening in the near-termgiven that fiscal spending is more spread out in 2012 vs prior years and monetary growthis already relatively loose(TSF+19.1%yoy in October 2012).Reforms are in
30、creasingly more important to market performance.We believe thepivotal driver of performance will shift to reforms,which are vital to economic growthsustainability or visibility,even if it may mute the quantity of growth slightly.With the newleaders gradually taking over the reins between now and Mar
31、ch 2013,we expect increasedscrutiny on their policy statements and on the likelihood that they will push throughreforms.However,we think this may not happen until at least 2Q13,after the handover iscomplete.We may see a period of sideways performance for offshore China in the comingcouple of months.
32、Going into 2013,we are constructive on China equities,as we see asupportive gradual recovery macro backdrop,low valuations and positioning,and greaterlikelihood of reform progress post the leadership transition.However,in the next couple ofmonths,before we can see a clear stance on reform,we believe
33、 the focus will remain onthe cyclical issues.There,we think the possibility of upside and downside surprises may bemore balanced for offshore China equities(but we see some room for upside surprise forA-shares given the noticeably lower cyclical expectations there).Goldman Sachs Global Economics,Com
