China banks outperformed in October

Small banks were the big winners.

According to Bernstein's monthly market monitor, Chinese banks outperformed the market by 11% in Oct. with small banks outperforming large banks by 140bp.

"That said, the large banks outperformed the small banks in the final week of the month (by 230bp) on the back of stronger Q3 earnings results," Bernstein said.

"The PBOC reined in its accommodative monetary policy in Oct withdrawing RMB 100bn of liquidity via OMOs, a reversal from prior 6 months of liquidity injections. This created ST liquidity tension, causing money market rates to rise thru most of Oct," it added.

"In light of the strong performance at the end of the month and increasing investor interest in the Chinese banks, we expect the Chinese banks will continue to outperform the market in the coming months," it said further.

Every quarter, SBR lands on the desks of the founders, CFOs, and directors running Asia's most consequential companies. Every day, they open our newsletter and read our website. It's a room that took twenty years to build — and it's the one most of our partners are trying to get into.

The good news is that the door is open. We work with companies on thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The shape of the right partnership depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.

If you have something this room should know about, tell us. We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.
