Hong Kong: stay bullish

Article Abstract:

A trade agreement between China and Hong Kong should help financial markets in Hong Kong, according to Merrill Lynch. Trade sanctions are avoided and China becomes further integrated into world markets. The development of China should provide opportunities for companies from Hong Kong. Real estate and bank earnings could strengthen in Hong Kong. There should also be an increase in rates of investment in Hong Kong from the US. Looser monetary policy in China would also benefit Hong Kong.
