SHCOMP –

🌍 Weekly Global Stock Indices Macroeconomic Report (Feb 03, 2025)

⚖️ FTSE 100 () – Cheap, but Lacks Growth Catalysts – U.K. stocks remain one of the cheapest global markets (trading at just 10x forward P/E), but the domestic economy is stagnating, consumer confidence is weak, and the Bank of England is still cautious on rate cuts. The FTSE’s heavy exposure to commodities and financials means it could benefit from a rebound in energy prices or an improvement in global risk appetite, but right now, upside remains limited unless macro conditions shift favorably.

📈 ASX 200 () – Australia Balances Growth & China Exposure – The Australian market remains neutral as it benefits from falling domestic inflation (2.4%) and a stable labor market, but remains highly tied to China’s economic fate. If Chinese demand for iron ore and other raw materials picks up, the ASX could gain momentum. However, any further slowdown in China would weigh on Australia’s commodity sector and limit upside for equities.

⚖️ Russell 2000 () – Small Caps at a Turning Point – U.S. small caps have struggled under higher interest rates and tighter credit conditions, but the potential for Fed rate cuts in late 2025 could provide a major catalyst for Russell 2000 stocks to outperform. Institutional investors are still cautious, and many smaller firms remain leveraged with high refinancing risks. The index remains neutral for now, but a confirmed rate-cut cycle could spark significant upside.

🔴 Shanghai Composite (SHCOMP) – Policy vs. Reality – The Chinese market remains in a deep slowdown, as GDP growth projections are revised down to 4.5%, consumer sentiment is low, and foreign investors continue to exit. While the Chinese government has hinted at further policy stimulus, markets are skeptical that it will be enough to revive domestic demand. Without aggressive intervention, Shanghai equities remain at risk of further downside.

⚖️ Dow Jones () – The Safe Haven Play? – The Dow remains a more defensive index, with its value stocks and industrial leaders benefiting from economic resilience. However, with rate cuts still months away and tech driving most of the market upside, the Dow has underperformed growth-focused indices. It remains a stable bet for long-term investors but lacks immediate catalysts for outperformance.

📢 Key Institutional Insights
✅ FTSE remains historically cheap, but needs catalysts to unlock value.
✅ Australia is stable but remains China-dependent for further upside.
✅ Russell 2000 is a sleeping giant—if the Fed pivots, small caps will fly.
✅ Shanghai markets remain under pressure—no clear bottom until confidence returns.
✅ Dow holds steady but lacks growth drivers compared to S&P 500 and Nasdaq.

very good morning to you
Will close my short of 21720 entry price (still in good profit although that bullish attack due to CPI) to minimize losing more profit really and will open long until 21425
US 30 and all indexes are extremely bullish
I longed on Dax before its big surge to the upside and it worked and even will be much room to the upside
WATCH FTSE please as inside this index are explosions to the upside in case what i said yesterday's post happens
