1 week ago UBS’ China property optimist retreats from bullish calls, foresees deeper slump

John Lam, UBS’ head of China property research and a long-time contrarian, is retreating from his earlier bullish calls and joining his Wall Street peers in predicting that the country’s four-year real estate downturn is far from over.
