In China vs India stocks, pick China: UBS
UBS has downgraded shares in Indian stock markets to neutral from overweight, saying China is the better bet.
The investment bank said Indian markets was unlikely to see big downside surprises on inflation, and hence no aggressive rate cuts.
By contrast, China, the bank's biggest overweight market, offers an opportunity to benefit from expected policy easing, a more stable economy, and more attractive valuations.
We continue to think the best theme in the region is to be tilted towards policy easing. Our preference here is now China rather than India, said UBS in the report.
India's central bank cut interest rates by 50 basis points on Tuesday but warned of a limited scope for further rate cuts.
