The theme holds that weak household consumption, a deepening property slump and soft credit demand keep China's domestic economy subdued and weigh on global growth and Chinese equities. Researchers point to retail sales growing only about 1% year on year, property investment down roughly 20% year to date, and home prices still falling, with exports and high-tech output doing the heavy lifting. Among the houses with a view, 48 hold this thesis, 5 take the opposing view and 5 are mixed, while a few note that recent policy support and firmer GDP could limit the downside.
