Strategists at Goldman Sachs Group Inc. have cut their targets for key Chinese stock indexes for a second time this month, citing heightened trade tensions with the US.
The 12-month target for the MSCI China Index was reduced to 75 from 81, while that for the CSI 300 Index was lowered to 4,300 from 4,500.
Chinese stocks have been affected by the escalating trade war between the two largest economies in the world, with concerns over a further escalation of trade tensions continuing to weigh on investor sentiment.
Goldman Sachs strategists favor A shares over H tactically, and have upgraded banks and developers to overweight, expecting decisive and forceful policy changes to soften the trade shock.
