0603 GMT - The National People's Congress meetings in China seem to set a supportive tone for its property sector, say UOB Kay Hian's Liu Jieqi and Damon Shen in a note. Policy directions include prioritizing supply control and destocking, potential reform of the country's housing fund and optimizing the supply of government housing to improve supply-demand dynamics, they say. Still, the analysts recommend maintaining selective exposure to China's property sector amid still-subdued property sales. Investors should buy during market corrections rather than chasing policy-driven rallies, they add. UOB KH maintains an underweight rating on the property sector. China Resources Land is the brokerage's top sector pick given its likely 4.4% dividend yield in 2026.(megan.cheah@wsj.com)
