Some developers might accelerate residential sales to ease liquidity strains thanks to rising rental yields exceeding mortgage rates. All eyes are on New World Development's bonds following its recent mega loan refinancing. In mainland China, housing crisis could persist in 2H amid lingering Sino-US trade tensions undermining consumer confidence, impacting developers' sales and heightening Vanke's liquidity risk.
