Market Review
Asian stock markets ended mixed in March, with benchmarks touching a seven-month low at one point, as Cyprus’ troubled banking sector reignited fears over sovereign risks in the eurozone.
This was despite generally positive economic news from the US and Asia. However, industrial production fell across the region in February, as weak exports affected the more open economies.
Inflation edged higher, led by China where prices accelerated to a 10-month high. India also raised fuel prices. Most central banks held interest rates steady but India cut policy rates by 25 basis points.
In politics, Australian prime minister Julia Gillard reshuffled her cabinet after a round of sackings and resignations following a failed leadership coup. Uncertainty heightened in India, where the Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam party, one of the key partners in the ruling coalition, withdrew because of differences over the treatment of Sri Lankan Tamils.
Portfolio Review
There were no major changes to the portfolio in March.
In portfolio-related news, HSBC’s Hong Kong operations continued to deliver good results that offset one-off fines; it also raised its dividend payout. Australia’s QBE Insurance expects its insurance profit margin to rise to 11% this year from 8% in 2012. The Philippines’ Ayala Land raised 12.2 billion pesos via a share placement for expansion.
Outlook
The weakness in early March serves as a timely reminder that structural issues in Europe remain unresolved and that market sentiment can change quickly. While economic fundamentals in Asia are more robust and corporate profits are generally on a growth trajectory, we cannot count on similar levels of capital inflows in the coming months to buttress asset prices. Within the region, worsening tensions on the Korean peninsula and India’s messy coalition politics will also weigh on investors’ minds. However, valuations are still reasonable and optimism prevails among the companies that we hold.
