Core Viewpoint - The announcement of a ceasefire between Israel and Iran may serve as a significant turning point, leading to a reduction in global market risk aversion and a subsequent rise in asset prices, particularly in global stock markets while oil and gold prices decline [1][2]. Direct Impact - The geopolitical risk premium in oil prices has been eliminated, resulting in a decrease in international oil prices due to reduced fears of supply disruptions from escalating conflicts in the Middle East [2]. - As risk aversion diminishes, funds are flowing back from safe-haven assets like gold into higher-growth risk assets such as global equities, indicating a lower level of market uncertainty [2]. Transmission Effects - The easing of tensions in the Middle East may trigger a transmission chain in the global macroeconomic landscape [3]. - The transmission chain can be summarized as follows: 1. Easing Middle East tensions → Oil price decline [4] 2. Oil price decline → Reduced inflationary pressures in the U.S., as oil prices significantly influence U.S. inflation metrics [5]. 3. Reduced inflation → Increased likelihood of interest rate cuts by the Federal Reserve, as persistent inflation has been a barrier to rate cuts [6]. 4. Enhanced rate cut expectations → Improved global liquidity, particularly benefiting emerging markets, with Hong Kong stocks potentially attracting more international capital due to their low valuation [6]. Market Opportunities - In light of improved liquidity and rising risk appetite, Hong Kong stocks are expected to enter a significant "allocation window" [6]. - The technology sector in Hong Kong, which includes leading companies in internet, consumer electronics, and biotechnology, is likely to benefit from the anticipated global liquidity improvement and represents higher growth potential [6][8]. - The CSI Hong Kong Stock Connect Technology Index has shown strong growth, with a total return of 227% since the end of 2014, indicating its potential as a tool for capturing structural opportunities in the Hong Kong technology sector [8].
