0527 GMT - There seems to be a limited chance that Chinese policymakers will announce meaningful demand stimulus near term, especially one geared toward consumers, Morgan Stanley economists led by Robin Xing say. Policymakers at a press conference earlier struck a measured tone on direct demand stimulus, and the mix of incremental support remains somewhat investment-centric, they write in a note. MS continues to expect a modest sequential improvement in economic growth over 4Q 2024-1Q 2025, but notes that sustainable reflation requires a larger fiscal package on consumption, debt restructuring and housing. Foreign investors could take a "not trust but verify" approach as they assess Beijing's commitment to reflation, which may remain a bumpy road in the medium term, MS says.
