Terrence Kan, Director of Client Portfolio Strategy at Fidelity International, said that the Federal Reserve's ongoing interest rate reduction cycle will positively influence the stock and bond markets. He noted that the stock markets in Mainland China and Hong Kong present long-term investment opportunities. However, he stressed that the implementation of policies introduced earlier this year in Mainland China requires enhancement, as structural challenges, particularly in the real estate sector, have diminished investor confidence. A substantial recovery in the stock market will arise only when these structural challenges are adequately resolved. On September 19, the Fed announced a 50 basis point reduction in the target range for the federal funds rate, lowering it to between 4.75% and 5.00%. On the same day, the Hong Kong Monetary Authority announced that it would also cut the base rate by 50 basis points to 5.25%, effective immediately. Roger Lau, Head of Pensions & Retirement at Schroders pointed out that the eMPF Platform, which assists Mandatory Provident Fund (MPF) scheme members in managing their retirement assets, will provide convenience for investors in making investment choices. Notably, the platform's integration of artificial intelligence technology will facilitate asset analysis for investors, enabling personalized investment recommendations and product suggestions. Freddy Wong, Head of Asia Pacific - Invesco Fixed Income at Invesco Ltd. emphasized that MPF scheme members should actively seize the opportunities presented by the current interest rate cut cycle.

Wey Fook Hou,DBS Chief Investment Officer, highlighted that on the macro front, both the Federal Reserve and the European Central Bank are likely to lower interest rates further this quarter, though the pace of their policy easing remains to be seen. Meanwhile, the People's Bank of China still has room for further rate cuts. Speaking of economic outlook, the U.S. economy is expected to remain robust, while demand for major export products in Europe is likely to remain subdued, with the region's economic growth lacking momentum. China may introduce additional stimulus measures to boost domestic consumption, he added. In terms of the Hong Kong stock market, Yeang Cheng Ling, Senior Investment Strategist of Consumer Banking & Wealth Management at DBS Bank, noted that in cross-border investments, DBS Bank is optimistic about the investment value of platform companies. Platform companies are modern service industry platforms built on next-generation technologies such as the internet and cloud computing to provide goods and services. They align with requirements such as self-operated business activities, closed transaction loops, government-business cooperation, and robust regulatory frameworks.

"Standard Chartered are upgrading global equities to overweight and expect them to outperform bonds and cash. We remain overweight US equities as likely expansionary policies following recent elections, such as potential tax cuts and deregulation, add fresh impetus for US companies, on top of accelerating earnings growth. We are underweight Europe ex-UK equities and see equities in other regions as core holding (Neutral)," said Ethan, HsinChieh Wang, head of investment strategy for wealth management at Standard Chartered Bank. In its recently released "Global Market Outlook 2025," Standard Chartered forecasts that the Fed will continue cutting rates to 3.75% by the end of 2025. Additionally, it expects Europe and China to further ease policies to address trade uncertainties and revive domestic demand. Ethan highlighted gold as a key hedge against risks. Besides, gold benefits from a structural advantage, underpinned by sustained purchases from central banks worldwide. They typically load up gold after price declines, pause buying when prices rise excessively, but rarely reduce their holdings. This overall ongoing accumulation of gold actually serves as a hedge against the risk of declining confidence in the U.S. dollar. Read: https://lnkd.in/gB3bApcr
