UBS Wealth Management Chief Investment Director for Greater China Region and Head of Equities, Li Zhiying, indicates that he is optimistic about American technology, energy, and utility stocks next year, primarily driven by the hot trend of artificial intelligence.
UBS Wealth Management expects that under the baseline scenario, US stocks will rise next year driven by steady economic growth, declining interest rates, and the boom in artificial intelligence. The US is the region the bank is most bullish on, giving it a "attractive" rating, with a target of 6600 points for the S&P 500 index. US economic growth is being supported by relaxation of regulations and improving business confidence, offsetting the impact of tariffs on major imports from Europe and other regions.
