China Aviation: Airlines -- 1Q24 financial performance weaker than exp...

The three major airlines’ 1Q24 results were overall weaker than our expectation. Other than CSA which managed a turnaround in 1Q24, Air China and CEA remained in loss-making positions in 1Q24. The top six Chinese airlines’ combined fleet size is projected to grow 4.4-4.9% yoy in 2024 by our estimate; this is likely to keep the sector in an overcapacity situation for 2024. Downgrade Chinese airlines to UNDERWEIGHT on overcapacity and high gearing concerns. Top pick: Air China.

China Economics: PMI -- Apr 24 PMI – Second month of expansion

Manufacturing PMI came in better than expected at 50.4% (-0.4ppt) and stayed in the expansionary zone for the second month. It was mainly supported by production and new orders as employment remained a drag, dropping 0.1ppt to 48.0%. Nonmanufacturing hit a three-month low of 51.2%, dragged by moderation in new orders and business expectations. We expect policy support to continue and the July Politburo may see new measures being rolled out.

Como se esperaba la Reserva Federal decidió de forma unánime mantener el tipo de referencia en el rango 5,25%-5,5% pero el comunicado reconoció falta de progreso en el proceso de desinflación en los últimos datos. Aunque J. Powell sonó menos agresivo de lo que esperaba el mercado, al seguir dejando la puerta abierta todavía a recortar tipos, dejó entrever que el inicio del ciclo de recortes es ahora más incierto, insistiendo en la necesidad de tipos altos durante más tiempo.
