Week Ahead:23 June 2025
US markets momentum persists, closing at record high. Upcoming earnings season, AI spending, trade talks and Middle East situation are expected to be drivers for the next few weeks of trading.
Short Term:
S&P 500 (SPX):
With the index breaking above its February all-time high and a measured technical target at 6,300 (2.618% Fibonacci extension), bullish momentum is intact.
Traders could look for pullbacks towards 6,050 as a potential entry area with tight risk controls below gap support. Momentum continuation setups can be monitored on lower timeframes. While investors can consider increasing exposure on dips, particularly in sectors leading the breakout (e.g., tech, industrials).
Hang Seng Index (HSI):
HSI’s strong weekly close near resistance at 24,200 suggests growing bullish conviction. A break above this could trigger a move towards 24,780 and 26,000.
Traders can consider short-term trades targeting 24,780. Reentries can be considered near 23,500 if pullback occurs. Investors may allocate tactically to China/HK names showing strong relative strength or benefiting from domestic policy tailwinds.
Straits Times Index (STI):
STI’s momentum above 3,900 hints at a retest of the 4,000 psychological and technical resistance level.
Traders to lookout for momentum plays with tight stops below 3,945. A sustained move toward 4,000 offers short-term upside. And investors can position selectively in local financials and even REITs as the broader index tests higher levels. Reassess if STI fails to hold above 3,945.
Long Term:
S&P 500 (SPX) Upward Trend
Hang Seng Index (HSI) Upward Trend
Straits Times Index (STI) Uptrend Trend
Headlines Next Week:
US: ISM mfg/services, JOLTS, nonfarm payrolls, jobless claims, factory orders
China: Official & Caixin mfg/services PMI
Singapore: URA private home prices, PMI, retail sales
