On December 19, HSBC Global Private Banking and Wealth Management's Chief Investment Officer for China, Kuang Zheng, expressed increasing optimism about the market prospects in Asia during the release of HSBC's 2025 Global Investment Market Outlook. It is anticipated that the economies of India and ASEAN countries will maintain strong growth, coupled with China's ongoing efforts to intensify economic stimulus measures. The economic growth of Asia (excluding Japan) is expected to remain at 4.4% in 2025, significantly higher than the global average expected growth rate of 2.6%. The Federal Reserve's easing cycle will also provide Asian central banks with room to cut interest rates, which may further enhance the attractiveness of Asian stock markets. In terms of Asian markets, opportunities lie in sectors such as Technology, Communications, Industrials, Consumer Staples, and Utilities. Additionally, as Gold is traditionally viewed as a safe-haven asset, demand for Gold may persist to respond to sudden changes in the market.
