There are recent market concerns about rate hikes from inflation or geopolitical factors may lead to a valuation decline in the Hong Kong property sector, according to JPMorgan's research report.

The broker's base assumption is that rates will remain unchanged for the next four quarters, while homebuyers still enjoy a slightly positive interest margin now, expecting the sector to withstand an environment of unchanged interest rates.
