HSBC strategists halve their exposure to the U.S. stock market and increase investments in emerging markets and Europe, as the latter's economic outlook remains strong. The strategists believe that the technicals and market sentiment outside the U.S. are positive enough to offset concerns related to geopolitics and trade. This year, global stock indices and emerging market indices have performed well.

Odaily Planet Daily reports that HSBC strategists have halved their exposure to the U.S. stock market and shifted more investment into emerging markets and Europe, as the latter currently shows strong economic momentum. Over the past two months, key cyclical indicators such as consumer and manufacturing data have shown growth. The strategists stated, “We are actively aligning with this stronger cyclical growth trend, and our current holdings in non-U.S. stocks have increased.” They believe that positive technical signals, positioning, and market sentiment can offset volatility caused by concerns over geopolitics, trade, and artificial intelligence. As of this year, the S&P 500 has risen 1.5%, while the global stock index excluding U.S. stocks has increased 11%, and the emerging markets benchmark index has gained 15%. (Jin10)
