Pressure on offshore Chinese equities has increased following the US election, with US-listed Chinese ADRs and the Hang Seng index down approximately 7.9% and 5.5%, respectively. The incoming administration's cabinet, featuring figures known for their tough stance on China, suggests a potential rise in tariffs, prompting a revision of MSCI China targets. Investors are advised to shift focus towards defensive and high-yielding sectors like financials, utilities, energy, and telecoms, which are expected to perform better amid strained US-China relations.
