Hong Kong stocks are 'undervalued' but the outlook is still rocky, says strategist
The investment outlook in Hong Kong remains "highly uncertain" as the stock market — particularly institutional investors — will need time to digest different factors such as China's policy tightening on tech stocks as well as uncertainties surrounding indebted property giant Evergrande, Wen said.
For those looking to buy "highly volatile" stocks such as those in the new economy space, the strategist warned that U.S. Treasury yields have been on the rise and are likely to weigh on the tech sector. Some examples of new economy stocks include those in technology, while those in sectors such as utilities are typically classified as old economy shares.
"I think the tech sector will remain fairly volatile," Wen said, warning investors against being "too aggressive" on technology shares in the coming weeks or months. The benchmark 10-year Treasury yield recently crossed 1.5% and has largely stayed above the level since. Higher bond yields can hit tech stocks — when interest rates rise, they make the company's future cash flows less valuable, and their shares appear overvalued.
