[ET Net News Agency, 21 August 2018] CLSA said Hong Kong's property market is having
its worst combination of fundamentals in 15 years with rising interest rates (2005-06), a
slowing economy (2008) and a depreciating Rmb (2015-16).
The research house said that sentiment could deteriorate at any time as prices are
unaffordable. It expects a 15% correction over the next 12 months and downgraded Hong Kong
developers to "underweight".
CLSA revised its target prices and ratings for the developers it covers as follows:
