Looking back on the upcoming Year of the Tiger, the Hang Seng Index has experienced sharp ups and downs. Judging from the accuracy of last year's forecast, in CLSA's 2022 Feng Shui Guide, the predicted changes in the trend of the Hang Seng Index are similar to the actual market situation, but the market rebound at the end of the year was later than that of CLSA last year prediction.
Looking ahead to the full year of the Year of the Rabbit, according to CLSA’s forecast, March and August were the lows for the Hong Kong stock market, while November will be the best month for the market.
In terms of zodiac signs, according to the forecast of CLSA, most zodiac signs will be able to take a breather in the coming year after experiencing ups and downs in the Year of the Tiger. Dogs, monkeys, sheep, pigs and dragons who are not afraid of birds of prey will have good luck throughout the year. These party animals will enjoy the delicious food and drinks on the river boat. Rat, Ox and Horse have good luck, which is good for traveling, hiking, photography and other hobbies. Although anxious rabbits and bored tigers have concerns, the coming year will be smooth. Plus, poor Snake is hard at work in the office. Unfortunately, this is the time of year when chickens have the worst luck. Not only do they fall into the water, but they also have to beware of attacks from falcons.
This guide from CITIC CLSA also points out that those born in the Year of the Rooster should be extra careful in the Year of the Rabbit.
“Since the Rooster and the Rabbit are in conflict, the Rooster often needs to be extra careful in the Year of the Rabbit. The Rooster’s fortune is not particularly bad, but there will be a lot of things to deal with.” The guide also mentioned that people born in the Year of the Rooster You will encounter many small bumps in the road this year, so be careful not to make a fuss out of a molehill and give up side jobs that may not be completed. Things are going well at the beginning of the year, but we predict a brief correction in March, followed by a return to growth until late summer; May will be a good month. The next three months will see two declines, a rebound in November, and finally a smooth and leisurely winter.
The fire industry is the most prosperous, while the gold industry continues to be under pressure
From the perspective of industry performance, this Feng Shui guide from CITIC CLSA pointed out that according to Feng Shui theory, the Year of the Rabbit will be The most prosperous fortunes are in fire-based industries, including oil, natural gas, fashion and technology, with the peak occurring in late spring. Similarly, wood-related industries also have good fortunes, including medical, education and planting industries, with peaks occurring in early spring, late autumn and winter.
On the other hand, the real estate and construction industries of the earth system and the tourism, hotel and transportation industries of the water system are likely to perform mediocrely. That may be disappointing, but it could be a turnaround for the struggling tourism and real estate industries. With Bazi once again short of gold, finance and industries that use metals as raw materials, such as battery manufacturing, will continue to be under pressure.
Specifically, the fire luck in the horoscope is prosperous, and the high point is in late spring. While the world is facing supply chain issues and demand levels vary, the advertising industry and small technology products will support consumption and keep it at a high level. All fire-based industries will see an upswing, from the humble coke oven to cosmetics to optical products. What needs special attention is that the two industries of recycling and repair will slowly rise.
The wood industry may have a lot of action, but the actual rise or fall is very small. Wood luck is still strong. Expect good luck in the following industries: education, design, renovation, art, religion, and publishing.
The soil industry will change with the market situation and achieve higher performance at the end of the quarter. The only sustained growth period for the construction industry may be from late spring to summer, while industries such as leather and jade may experience two or three waves of climax, but each will last for a shorter period.
As for the water industry, in the Year of the Tiger, the tourism and transportation industries will have good returns, but in the Year of the Rabbit, uncontrollable negative forces will entangle these two industries. Insurance and aquaculture have slightly better prospects than other industries, but most water-based industries will be busy putting out sparks. But come the holiday season, good luck will come to the hotel and transportation industries.
CITIC Lyon Guide also mentioned that the Year of the Rabbit has been the second consecutive year of gold shortage. The market will obviously take a hit, but mainly in the steel and machinery industries, which are unlikely to improve compared to last year. The months from summer to winter are usually good for gold, and there will be a wave of basic support in August and September, but the market is already difficult during this period, so there will be no outside help.
