Greater China equities rallied strongly during the first three quarters of 2025, with the third quarter delivering solid gains, with upward earnings revisions. Heading into the final quarter of the year, we remain constructive, supported by the US Federal Reserve (the Fed) interest rate cutting cycle, Mainland’s demand-side stimulus, potential strategic priorities in the 15th Five-Year Plan, continued recovery in corporate earnings and robust fund inflows. While tariffs remain one of the major risks, we think Mainland has sufficient ways to manoeuvre various scenarios with strong localisation and global capabilities.
