Senior investment strategist Yap Fook Hien highlighted that Taiwan’s dominant position in the semiconductor industry and China’s attractive valuations anchor the bank’s bullish outlook. These markets are expected to capitalize on sustained AI investment, while India remains a key focus for its strong domestic growth trajectory. The bank’s base case assumes shipping through the Strait of Hormuz will normalize in the coming weeks, a shift that would alleviate cost pressures for oil-dependent Asian economies.
Beyond regional equities, Global Chief Investment Officer Steve Brice confirmed the bank maintains an overweight stance on global stocks, specifically favoring U.S. markets alongside Asia. The firm’s long-term forecast remains aggressive, with projections for the S&P 500 to reach 7,950 and gold prices to climb to $5,100 per ounce by mid-2027. Investors are also encouraged to consider emerging market U.S. dollar bonds as part of a diversified strategy to capture growth in these shifting economic conditions.
