IWB - Goldman tips stocks poised to best benefit from China's reopening
The growth outlook in China has improved decisively, according to the Goldman Sachs equity strategy team.
"The sudden reversal of China’s long-standing zero covid policy means the country is reopening more swiftly than expected," strategist David Kostin wrote in a note. "Our China economists now expect GDP growth of 5.5% in 2023 (vs. 4.5% just two months ago)."
"Baskets of companies with foreign revenue exposure have outperformed alongside the brightening global growth outlook and FX weakness," Kostin said. "The China Sales Exposure basket contains Russell 1000 ( NYSEARCA: IWB ) companies with the highest sales exposure to China."
"Its performance vs. the S&P 500 ( SP500 ) ( SPY ) has followed the path of USD ( DXY )/CNY ( CYB ), outpacing the index by 5 pp YTD as the dollar has declined."
