🌍 Weekly Global Stock Indices Macroeconomic Report (Feb 03, 2025)
🔥 U.S. Equities Lead Global Markets – The S&P 500 (
SPX) and Nasdaq 100 (NDX) remain in a bullish uptrend, fueled by strong GDP growth (2.5%), cooling inflation (2.9%), and record-breaking tech earnings. The AI boom continues to drive institutional inflows into mega-cap tech stocks, while the Federal Reserve’s stable policy stance keeps market sentiment positive.⚖️ Europe is Stabilizing, but Risks Remain – The DAX (
DAX) and Eurozone indices show signs of a recovery, with PMI data turning expansionary for the first time in months. However, German manufacturing remains weak, and the region’s reliance on China’s economy poses risks to sustained growth. ECB rate cuts expected in Q2 could provide further upside, but trade policy uncertainty is a lingering concern.🚀 Japan’s Nikkei 225 (
NIKKEI) Gains Momentum – Foreign investment into Japan is accelerating, as corporate governance reforms improve shareholder returns and the Bank of Japan maintains a loose monetary stance. With strong earnings growth and attractive valuations relative to U.S. stocks, Japan continues to be a high-conviction play for institutional investors.🔴 China’s Economic Headwinds Weigh on Asia – The Hang Seng Index (
HANGSENG) remains under pressure as China’s GDP growth slows to 4.5%, consumer demand weakens, and the property sector crisis persists. Capital outflows from Chinese equities continue, and sentiment remains fragile despite government stimulus efforts. Until China’s domestic economy stabilizes, Hong Kong markets are likely to underperform.📢 Key Institutional Insights
✅ Hedge funds reducing S&P 500 short positions as U.S. economic resilience surprises to the upside.
✅ Europe’s rebound still fragile—PMI improving, but Germany’s export-driven economy still lags.
✅ Japan attracting record foreign capital—Nikkei benefits from structural changes and weak yen.
✅ China remains the biggest wildcard—policy stimulus hasn’t yet revived confidence in domestic markets.
