Bank of America has reaffirmed a "neutral" rating for Bank of China (OTCMKTS:BACHY), while Goldman Sachs upgraded it from "hold" to "strong-buy." The stock traded down 0.8% to $14.73, with a market cap of $173.45 billion and a P/E ratio of 5.78. Despite a current buy rating, analysts suggest five other stocks may be better investment options.
On March 28, Goldman Sachs acquired shares worth ₹281 crore in HAL and Zomato, purchasing 3.85 lakh and 60.07 lakh shares, respectively, at prices ranging from ₹199.5 to ₹4,176.25. The deal, valued at ₹280.96 crore, coincided with Kadensa Capital selling the same number of shares. In the broader market, domestic equity benchmarks closed lower amid investor caution over US tariffs and upcoming PCE data, with the BSE benchmark Sensex gaining over five percent in FY25 despite a volatile trading environment.
HSBC's profitability is heavily influenced by its diversified income streams, with structural hedging reducing its sensitivity to interest rate fluctuations. Despite a decline in net interest income growth, the bank maintains strong liquidity and solvency metrics, reporting a CET1 ratio of 14.9%. However, rising costs and potential trade wars pose challenges, prompting considerations of outsourcing trading operations as the bank navigates a shifting global economic landscape.
HKT has improved operational efficiency through AI scheduling, promoting green services and accelerating the ICT sector's green transformation. At MWC 2025, Huawei and GSMA Intelligence introduced the Green Network Index, emphasizing the need for sustainable practices and collaboration among global operators to achieve carbon neutrality and enhance energy efficiency. Key players like Globe and Turkcell shared their strategies for integrating renewable energy and reducing carbon emissions, aiming for significant sustainability milestones by 2050.
UBS has adopted a selective approach to real estate stocks, favoring those with strong growth potential, pricing power, and solid cash flows. The firm sees opportunities in companies with profitable pipelines and attractive yield gaps, while noting that Japanese developers are performing well, but REITs face challenges from rising interest costs. In Europe, short-term uncertainties persist, yet gradual improvements are expected, particularly in the US and Australian markets, while Hong Kong developers may benefit from stabilizing fundamentals in mainland China.
Citigroup Global Markets has issued US$275 million in cash-settled exchangeable bonds for shares in HKEX, set to be issued on 10 April 2025 and maturing on 10 October 2028.

Proceeds will be used for general corporate purposes.
China's gold exports to Hong Kong surged to 41 tons in February, more than doubling from the previous month and marking the highest level in a decade, while imports from Hong Kong saw only a slight increase. This shift indicates weak domestic demand in China, prompting traders to export surplus gold to capitalize on higher global prices.
Global investor confidence in China equities has surged to its highest level in two years, driven by a market rebound and optimism in the tech sector, according to UBS. The Hang Seng Tech Index has risen over 19% this year, contrasting with a decline in the Nasdaq Composite. Investors are focusing on near-term dynamics, such as policy signals and fiscal stimulus, while some are looking to capitalize on potential opportunities in Chinese assets amid signs of a stabilizing property market.
