Week Ahead: 27 Oct 2025
Upcoming week highlights: U.S. Big Tech earnings, the FOMC meeting, and the Trump-Xi meeting will take centre stage, while investors closely monitor key economic data and progress on the U.S. government shutdown.
Short Term:
S&P 500 (SPX): The S&P 500 is attempting to break out of a two-month range. A sustained move above 6,770 likely trigger momentum toward 6,970. Until confirmed, the index remains range-bound with firm support around 6,600.
Short-term traders consider partial long exposure above 6,770 with stop near 6,640.
Hang Seng Index (HSI): The Hang Seng Index is attempting to base above 25,600 after a volatile October. A close above 26,200 would tilt momentum bullish toward 27,000 +, while failure to clear that zone keeps the index range-bound.
Base case remains neutral consolidation with cautious optimism for upside follow-through if FFI momentum and sentiment improve. Short-term traders stay neutral within range; initiate tactical longs only on confirmed breakout above 26,200
Straits Times Index (STI): The STI has rebounded from its October low but remains capped by 4,474 resistance level. Momentum is improving but conviction remains moderate. A sustained breakout above 4,474 would shift probabilities decisively bullish.
Until then, the base case remains a sideways consolidation between 4,390 and 4,470. Short-term traders consider long exposure only above 4,474 with stop near 4,390.
