US and European stock futures are rising, suggesting a potential recovery after the market turbulence at the end of the year, as traders return from the New Year holidays. It seems that investors are ready to buy back at least some of the stocks they apparently sold off in late 2024 to rebalance their portfolios. Euro Stoxx 50 and Nasdaq 100 futures are up around 0.82% during Asian trading, following a sell-off of risky assets in the final days of 2024. Technology stocks may lead the gains after four consecutive days of losses up to Tuesday. US tech stocks deserve these valuation premiums when you look at the return on equity and free cash flow generation. Optimism surrounding artificial intelligence will spread to other parts of the market, meaning that profit growth will be supported not only by the “Magnificent Seven” but also by other sectors in the S&P 500 index.
Asian stocks are declining, with Chinese stocks leading the losses in their first trading day of the year. Sentiment is pessimistic as economic data from China pointed to a slowdown in the economy, and traders are focusing on the potential for higher tariffs. The MSCI Asia index is heading for its lowest close in almost two weeks. Financial markets in Japan remain closed this week due to the New Year holiday. Local market sentiment appears to be worsening due to weak PMI data and the recent rise of the dollar. Investors are likely to pull back in the face of potential US tariffs. Pessimism in Asia reflects caution in the region as geopolitical tensions rise, and traders begin implementing their asset allocation strategies for 2025. China’s growth prospects, the Federal Reserve’s policy, and the agenda of the newly elected President Donald Trump are in focus for investors.
Oil prices are trading with minimal declines, although an industry report signals that US crude oil inventories continue to decrease. The American Petroleum Institute report showed that inventories fell by 1.4 million barrels last week, which would mark the sixth consecutive decline.
