Recent key calls include:
January 2023 - Correctly expected that policymakers would step up targeted economic support, but refrain from a massive, broad stimulus of the kind following the Global Financial Crisis, meaning that the property sector especially is set for a drawn-out recovery.
January 2023 - Rightly foresaw that China will export disinflation, even after reopening.
