Yardeni also questioned the effectiveness of lowering mortgage rates in attracting buyers. While this might prevent property prices from falling further, he believes that a significant residual negative wealth effect in real estate will persist.
The Chinese government has introduced several measures to stimulate the property market, including easing restrictions on home purchases in major cities like Shanghai, Shenzhen, and Guangzhou. The central bank has also announced plans to allow mortgage refinancing.
Despite these efforts, Yardeni remains unconvinced that China can stimulate consumption and reverse the prolonged property slump that has slowed economic growth. He points to the country's demographic profile, shaped by the one-child policy, as a major challenge.
However, Yardeni notes that the stock market rally could provide some positive wealth effect, which might help to stabilize the market for now.
Andrew Tilton, Chief Asia Pacific Economist at Goldman Sachs, comments on the significant shift in China's macroeconomic policies in the past week. He notes that investors had long awaited more decisive action from policymakers to address the housing downturn and stabilize growth.
Tilton believes that more fiscal stimulus is needed to move the needle in a significant way in the Chinese economy. He suggests that trillions of renminbi in fiscal stimulus may be required to achieve this.
Meanwhile, Christopher Wood, global head of equity strategy at Jefferies, has reduced his investment in Indian stocks but still holds a positive outlook on the Indian market. Wood has increased his investment in Chinese stocks, citing the Chinese market's rally as a reason for his decision.
Despite the challenges facing China's property market, some experts believe that global liquidity could benefit both China and India.
The Chinese government's efforts to stimulate the property market have been met with skepticism by some experts. While the measures may provide some short-term relief, they may not be enough to address the underlying issues facing the market.
As the Chinese government continues to grapple with the challenges facing its property market, investors will be watching closely to see if the stimulus efforts will be enough to stimulate a recovery.
The outcome of the Chinese government's efforts to stimulate the property market remains uncertain. However, one thing is clear the challenges facing the market are complex and will require more than just short-term fixes to resolve.
