We\n      recall that the major corrections in Chinese equities in 2025 were largely\n      due to U.S.-China trade tensions. The latest deal reached in October\n      appears more durable and is likely to set the stage for a more sustainable\n      rally, in our view.\n    <\/p>\n    <p>\n      Stable global trade relationships should support Chinese exports, which\n      have seen volumes growing but prices dropping. An increase in shipments to\n      the U.S. could help ease price pressures. Beijing\u2019s macroeconomic policy\n      is likely to become more supportive of domestic demand in 2026, given the\n      government\u2019s ambition to boost domestic consumption over the next five\n      years.

The Export Volume Index started the period at 110.5;\n          it dropped to as low as 87.7 in January 2023 and reached as high as\n          120.7 in January 2024. It finished the period at 111.4 as of end\n          September. However, the Export Price Index, which was at 109.5 in\n          January 2022, has steadily declined throughout the period and was at\n          97.3 at end-September.\n        <\/p>\n        <ul class=\"rbc-legend\">\n          <li class=\"rbc-legend-item\">\n            <div class=\"rbc-legend-line c-dark-blue-tint-1\"><\/div>\n            China Export Volume Index\n          <\/li>\n          <li class=\"rbc-legend-item\">\n            <div class=\"rbc-legend-line c-tundra\"><\/div>\n            China Export Price Index\n          <\/li>\n        <\/ul>\n        <p class=\"disclaimer\">\n          Source &#8211; RBC Wealth Management, Bloomberg; monthly data through\n          September 2025\n        <\/p>\n      <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n\n    <p>\n      The Chinese government continues to prioritize technology development,\n      with a focus on high-end manufacturing. As a result, we expect capital\n      expenditure in related sectors to continue growing. We believe Chinese\n      companies are well-positioned to benefit from the global AI spending boom,\n      as they supply many key components. The primary risk, in our view, is a\n      potential reversal in global AI spending, which could have a ripple effect\n      in China.\n    <\/p>\n    <p>\n      The Japanese equity market rose sharply in October, and while short-term\n      volatility is likely, we expect further upside in the new year. Japan\n      welcomed its first female prime minister, Sanae Takaichi, and her\n      government is enjoying an unusually high approval rating. Since becoming\n      prime minister in October, Takaichi has announced measures to counter\n      inflation, accelerated the timeline for defence spending increases, and\n      unveiled growth strategies for cutting-edge industries. In her very short\n      time in office, we also witnessed a strengthening of the U.S.-Japan\n      alliance.\n    <\/p>\n    <p>\n      We see \u201cSanaenomics\u201d as a catalyst for Japanese equities, and we view her\n      fiscal measures to be sufficient to help counter inflation and boost\n      sluggish middle-class consumption.\n    <\/p>\n    <p>\n      We reiterate our long-term constructive view on Japanese equities given a\n      sustainable two percent inflation target seems in sight; renewed\n      investment from friendshoring and onshoring; improving returns on equity\n      and shareholder returns; resilient domestic demand supported by high\n      household savings and wage hikes; inbound tourism and elevated domestic\n      inflows from individual investors under the revamped Nippon Individual\n      Savings Account scheme.\n    <\/p>\n\n    <!-- SECTION -->\n    <h2>Asia-Pacific fixed income<\/h2>\n    <p>\n      Asian credit markets head into 2026 on firm footing after a resilient\n      2025. Asian investment-grade credit spreads remain anchored by steady\n      economic growth, contained inflation and ample domestic liquidity.\n      Corporate credit fundamentals are sound, leverage has moderated and\n      supply remains disciplined. Even high-yield segments have weathered global\n      rate volatility for most of 2025, underscoring Asia\u2019s resilient credit\n      markets.\n    <\/p>\n    <p>\n      Regional policymakers are likely to stay proactive in balancing growth and\n      fiscal prudence. Governments of export-oriented economies \u2013 such as China,\n      South Korea, Japan and Thailand \u2013 are expected by most investors to sustain\n      targeted fiscal support to offset the drag from U.S. tariffs and subdued\n      global demand. This should help anchor long-term yields and contain\n      funding volatility. Yet, we believe elevated valuations and thinning\n      fiscal buffers across several economies mean returns will hinge on credit\n      selection and structural themes rather than broad market rallies.\n    <\/p>\n    <p>\n      China\u2019s credit cycle should move toward stabilization in 2026. Systemic\n      risks appear to be easing as real estate developers deleverage, and policy\n      remains geared toward steady, productivity-driven expansion. Domestic\n      investors will continue to be a key stabilizing force, in our view, while\n      sectors linked to consumption and technology provide selective upside.\n      Within China, we prefer investment-grade bonds issued by central\n      state-owned entities and high-quality private companies.\n    <\/p>\n\n    <!-- FIXED INCOME CHART -->\n    <h3>Asia ex Japan USD corporate IG credit spread<\/h3>\n    <div class=\"row mb-4\">\n      <div class=\"col-lg-10 col-md-8 col-sm-8 col-xs-10 col-xxs-12\">\n        <img decoding=\"async\"\n          src=\"https:\/\/www.rbcwealthmanagement.com\/assets\/wp-content\/uploads\/global\/gio-2026-ASIA-en-fixed-income-chart-2.png\"\n          alt=\"Asia ex Japan USD corporate IG credit spread\"\n          class=\"img-fluid mb-1-half\"\n          aria-describedby=\"asia-fi-desc\"\n        \/>\n        <p class=\"sr-only\" id=\"asia-fi-desc\">\n          The chart illustrates the credit spread (in basis points) of the Asia\n          ex Japan USD Corporate IG Bond Index over U.S. Treasuries for the\n          period from the start of 2025 to October 31, 2025.

The Bank of Japan\u2019s (BoJ) gradual normalization of monetary\n      policy and a more expansionary fiscal stance by the new Takaichi\n      administration have caused Japanese government bond (JGB) yields to rise,\n      and not without credit implications. Higher JGB yields are prompting more\n      Japanese corporates to issue U.S. dollar-denominated bonds, increasing\n      Japan\u2019s role in Asian credit markets. Although this may potentially widen\n      credit spreads at the longer end of the yield curve, we think strong\n      domestic demand driven by lower U.S. dollar hedging costs should support\n      positive returns and provide attractive relative valuations for global\n      investors.\n    <\/p>\n    <p>\n      Looking ahead, we believe the Asian credit outlook for 2026 points to more\n      moderate returns, driven by stable fundamentals, net negative new\n      supply \u2013 whereby more bonds are being paid back than newly issued \u2013 and\n      selective value in higher-quality issuers.\n    <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The two largest Asian equity markets have the potential to rally further.
