0658 GMT - The demand and pricing of electric vehicles in China may trend down in the first quarter amid the winter seasonality, HSBC Global Research analysts write in a note. EV demand was strong during the 4Q high season but there were signs of softer pricing towards the end of the year, they say. HSBC Global Research downgrades its rating on Great Wall Motor and Zhongsheng Group to reduce from hold and NIO to hold from buy. However, the brokerage forecasts EV penetration in China may rise to 60% this year. This could help the industry consolidate in the long term and further advance its autonomous driving technology, they add. (jiahui.huang@wsj.com; @ivy_jiahuihuang)
