“Developers would still have to deal with the fierce competition in sales and tight financial conditions themselves without any hope of policy help from the central government,” the brokerage said.

Quotable: “…the overall market sentiment was relatively strong. Particularly, 9-day RSI had already climbed back above 50 and the overall market turnover was relatively high to show the strength of the market. It might help the market to have better performance in short term.” Core Pacific Yamaichi. 10-12-11

Chinese Companies to Watch: “Valuations of A-share and H-share banks have hit their historical low and deliver excellent mid-to long-term investment appeal, with H-share banks trading at only 5.42x P/E and 1.05x P/B on average. We maintain “Outperform” for the sector and recommend CCB (CICHY), MSB (CMAKY), CITIC Bank (CHCJY)….” BOCOM International. 10-11-11
