Singapore Stock Market Week Ahead (Dec 15–19, 2025): STI Rally, Fed Cut Fallout, and the SGX Catalysts Investors Are Watching

Singapore Stock Market Week Ahead (Dec 15–19, 2025): STI Rally, Fed Cut Fallout, and the SGX Catalysts Investors Are Watching

Singapore equities head into the new week with renewed momentum after a strong finish on Friday, December 12, when the Straits Times Index (STI) jumped 1.5% to 4,586.45 as gainers outpaced losers across the broader market. The Business Times+1 But the “week ahead” setup for the Singapore stock market is far from a one-way bet. Trading from December 8 to 12 was defined by a tug-of-war between easing policy expectations (supportive for rate-sensitive pockets like S-REITs and cyclicals) and a fresh bout of global anxiety around tech valuations and AI spending (a risk-off force that can spill into Asia).

US Stock Market Week Ahead: Fed’s “Hawkish Cut,” Delayed Jobs & CPI, and Triple Witching Set Up a Volatile Mid-December

US Stock Market Week Ahead: Fed’s “Hawkish Cut,” Delayed Jobs & CPI, and Triple Witching Set Up a Volatile Mid-December

Wall Street heads into the week of Dec. 15–19, 2025 with a rare mix of cross-currents: a freshly delivered Federal Reserve rate cut, a market-wide rotation away from mega-cap AI winners, and—most importantly—a compressed “data dump” of delayed U.S. economic releases after a 43-day federal government shutdown disrupted reporting schedules. Reuters+2Bureau of Labor Statistics+2 The setup is straightforward but high-stakes: if the delayed numbers confirm a cooling economy without an inflation re-acceleration, equities could extend the year-end bid. If the prints revive inflation worries—or show sharper labor-market damage—markets may quickly reprice 2026 rate expectations and risk appetite.

Shenzhen Stock Market Week Ahead: ChiNext and SZSE Component Brace for China Data, Policy Signals and an Index Rebalance

Shenzhen stocks head into the week of December 15 with key China activity data, shifting policy priorities toward domestic demand, and a major Shenzhen index reshuffle that could drive short-term flows. As the Shenzhen Stock Exchange (SZSE) reopens on Monday, December 15, investors will be weighing a fast-moving mix of policy messaging from Beijing, soft domestic-demand signals in the latest credit data, and a packed economic calendar led by China’s November activity report card.

Hong Kong Stock Market Week Ahead: Hang Seng Braces for China Data, Policy Follow‑Through and Year‑End Liquidity Tests

HONG KONG (Dec. 13, 2025) — Hong Kong equities head into the new week with a familiar mix of tailwinds and tripwires: Beijing is reaffirming a growth-supportive stance for 2026, the U.S. Federal Reserve has cut rates again, and local rates are moving in lockstep — yet investors are still grappling with weak Chinese credit demand, ongoing property stress, and thinning year-end liquidity. The benchmark Hang Seng Index (HSI) finished Friday’s session with a solid rebound and closed near the 26,000 level after policy headlines out of China’s annual economic conference helped stabilize sentiment. But the index still ended the

Ireland Stock Market Week Ahead: ISEQ Outlook After Fed Rate Cut, CRH’s S&P 500 Boost and a Packed Central-Bank Calendar

Ireland’s stock market heads into the new week with two forces pulling in opposite directions: supportive global monetary policy after the US Federal Reserve’s latest cut, and renewed nerves around technology valuations that spilled into Friday’s trade. For investors watching the ISEQ All-Share (Euronext Dublin), the story from 8–13 December has been one of rotation—banks and cyclicals taking turns to lead—while heavyweight names like CRH and Ryanair generated their own headlines. The ISEQ ended the week modestly higher, closing at 12,863.03 on Friday, 12 December, compared with 12,770.34 on Monday, 8 December—an increase of roughly 0.7% across the five-session window.

Tokyo Stock Market Week Ahead: Nikkei 225 and Topix Face BOJ Rate Decision, CPI Print and Yen Volatility

Published: December 13, 2025 Tokyo’s stock market heads into the week of December 15–19 with the Topix at a record closing high and investors increasingly focused on a Bank of Japan (BOJ) policy decision that markets have largely priced in—but may not be fully prepared to interpret. The Nikkei 225 ended Friday (Dec. 12) at 50,836.55, while the Topix closed at 3,423.83, its highest close on record, after a broad rally that followed the U.S. Federal Reserve’s latest 25-basis-point rate cut.

Shanghai Stock Market Week Ahead: Shanghai Composite Braces for Key China Data After Policy-Heavy Dec 8–13, 2025

The Shanghai Stock Exchange heads into the new week with investors balancing two competing forces: increasingly explicit policy support for growth in 2026 and stubborn evidence that domestic demand—and especially household borrowing—remains fragile. The Shanghai Composite ended Friday, December 12 at 3,889.35, edging about 0.34% lower on the week versus the prior Friday close, after a volatile stretch driven by Beijing’s top-level policy meetings, inflation signals, property-sector headlines, and shifting global risk sentiment.

German Stock Market Week Ahead: DAX Outlook as ECB Decision, ZEW Survey and Flash PMI Take Center Stage

Germany’s DAX heads into the week of 15–19 December 2025 caught between two powerful forces: a global “soft landing” narrative reinforced by a 25-basis-point Federal Reserve rate cut, and a sudden bout of risk aversion sparked by fresh AI valuation jitters that hit tech-linked names late in the week. Reuters+1 After Friday’s pullback, the DAX ended the week still hovering around the 24,200 area, but sentiment has clearly become more selective: investors rotated into cyclicals and financials on easier U.S. policy expectations, while questioning whether the AI investment boom is getting ahead of near-term returns.

Nasdaq Nordic markets head into the week of December 15–19, 2025 with a familiar late-year mix: thin liquidity, policy-driven sector rotation, and index-related flows. Trading between December 8–13, 2025 delivered a clear regional split—Denmark outperformed, Sweden ended essentially flat, and Finland slipped—while investors digested a Federal Reserve decision, repositioned around cyclical leadership, and reacted to a cluster of Nordic corporate headlines spanning new targets, a proposed delisting, and fresh First North trading.
