“In general China stocks should be strong early this week because … there’s less risk of credit tightening,” said Peter So, managing director and co-head of research at CCB International.

Improved news about Europe’s debt crisis and the U.S. economy will also boost stocks prices, be told Equities. “Investors will reduce cash holdings and move into stocks with growth potential.”

Among the potential winners are some manufacturers and consumer products plays. Two companies that So likes are computer firm Lenovo (LNVGY) and Brilliance China (BCAHY), which makes BMWs in China.

Gains will probably evaporate later in the week after a steep rise in stock prices since October 4, according to So. End

Quotable: “China is going to release its GDP data on Tuesday, which is expected to grow 9.2% in Q3 after a 9.5% rise in Q2. Meanwhile, major PRC stocks will also reveal their third-quarter results in the next couple of weeks. The results are seen unexciting, as only a few of them have issued positive earnings alerts so far. Investors will also keep close eyes on Europe to see if there is any bailout measures from the EU Summit scheduled on Sunday to help contain market volatility.” BEA Securities. 10-14-11

Chinese Company to Watch: Cosco International (0517.HK), shipping service provider “An attractive accumulation opportunity for long-term investors.
