Week Ahead, 2 Dec 2024

 

Macro News:

Despite inflation remaining firm, the market continues to expect that the US Federal Reserve has a higher probability of cutting rates by 25 basis points at the upcoming FOMC meeting. December marks the final month of 2024 as we approach the year's end. Historically, the S&P 500 Index has been favorable to investors in December, with a 70.83% probability of a positive return and an average gain of 0.74%. We hope these trends persist in 2024.

Currently, we have not identified any trade setups. We will provide updates if any opportunities arise.

·       STI: The STI remains at the 3,700 resistance zone, with no major technical signals observed. If momentum sustains, the index could move towards the 3,860 level.

·       HSI: The China A50 Index cycle remains in an upward trend. The Hang Seng Index (grey) is currently at 19,000, the second support zone (Fibonacci 61.80%).
