Global economies are growing, with the US showing a 2.8% annualized growth in Q3 2024, while inflation has moderated to around 2%.

Asian stock markets are poised for diverging paths in 2025, with Hong Kong's Hang Seng Index recovering from a four-year decline but facing economic uncertainties, while Japan's Nikkei 225, after reaching a record high, grapples with potential volatility from interest rate hikes and external risks. Investor confidence in Japan remains strong, yet challenges such as U.S.-China trade tensions and internal political instability could impact its market trajectory. Both indices reflect a complex interplay of recovery prospects and macroeconomic factors as they head into the new year.
China is set to achieve a new record in solar power installations this year, with projections of 230 to 260 gigawatts, surpassing last year's record of 217 gigawatts. This increase comes despite challenges in the equipment manufacturing sector, including declining prices and profit margins.
China and Nepal signed a framework agreement on December 4 to enhance cooperation under the Belt and Road Initiative, facilitating major investments in infrastructure projects like roads, airports, and rail lines. This agreement follows Nepal's earlier commitment to the BRI in 2017, which had stalled due to political disagreements. Critics of the initiative express concerns over potential debt traps and China's geopolitical ambitions through its financing strategies.

Alibaba shares have sharply declined after a significant surge in late September, erasing gains due to inadequate stimulus measures from Chinese authorities. While a rebound is possible following an upcoming meeting of senior officials, the stock's recovery will depend on the effectiveness of any new announcements. Currently, the shares are testing their 200-session moving average, with key resistance at $100 and potential lows around $70 if no supportive measures are introduced.
UBS forecasts nearly 9% downside risk for European stocks by the end of 2025, projecting the Stoxx 600 index to fall to 470 due to weak earnings and macroeconomic challenges. The bank anticipates a 5% contraction in earnings per share next year, with sectors like autos and luxury goods facing pressure from China's economic slowdown. Defensive sectors such as utilities and renewables are favored, while cyclical sectors like semiconductors and energy are expected to struggle.
Tech investors are navigating heightened volatility due to geopolitical tensions, including US export controls on China and retaliatory measures from Beijing. Despite concerns, the impact on AI supply chains appears manageable, with a strong focus on Taiwan for AI capital expenditures. Robust demand for AI and improving monetization trends in tech earnings suggest a positive outlook, particularly for semiconductors and software, while traditional tech sectors face challenges.
