Last week (May 12–16), global equity markets broadly rallied on hopes for sustained trade de-escalation and solid economic data, though pockets of caution emerged amid mixed corporate earnings and regional headwinds.
🥰U.S. Markets
U.S. stocks extended their rebound from early-month tariff fears, with $S&P 500(.SPX)$ and $NASDAQ(.IXIC)$ each posting gains for the sixth straight week and the Dow rising comfortably above 34,000. Investor sentiment was buoyed by a 90-day U.S.–China tariff truce and cooler-than-expected April inflation, which together drove strong inflows into equity funds for the first time in five weeks—$12.9 billion net bought—especially into large-caps and sector ETFs in financials, industrials, and healthcare. The week kicked off with a 3.3% surge in the S&P 500 (to 5,844.19) and a 4.3% jump in the Nasdaq on Monday alone, following truce headlines.While resilient U.S. economic data underpinned gains, strategists warned that lofty valuations and looming trade-policy twists could slow momentum
🥳Hong Kong Markets
Hong Kong equities also participated in the upswing: $HSI(HSI)$ closed Friday around 23,379, up about 1.4% on the week, as mainland “southbound” Stock Connect inflows reached multi-month highs and Beijing signaled possible additional stimulus measures. Tech and financial shares led the advance, even as HSBC-backed Hang Seng Bank announced a modest restructuring affecting 1% of staff. Investor focus shifted to mixed corporate earnings and the sustainability of policy support, keeping some pockets of volatility alive despite overall optimism.
Competition Highlights:
🔹 Most-traded stock and Top-performing stock: $Tesla Motors(TSLA)$
Last week, $Tesla Motors(TSLA)$ shares surged roughly 17%, closing just under $350 on Friday—a fourth consecutive weekly gain—as a 90-day U.S.-China tariff truce and cooler April inflation data fueled a broader tech rally that lifted Tesla alongside peers like $NVIDIA(NVDA)$ . Investor optimism was further underpinned by strong semiconductor earnings and hopes of Federal Reserve rate cuts later in the year, making Tesla one of the top performers on the Nasdaq.
