Please see this week’s market overview from eToro’s global analyst team, which includes the latest market data and the house investment view.

Most markets rose steadily in anticipation of Donald Trump’s presidency

Last week offered something for every type of investor. Bond and small-cap investors found some relief in softer-than-expected inflation data, which caused the US 10-year yield to fall from 4.76% to 4.62%. Value investors were pleased with solid US bank earnings, all of which exceeded expectations. Growth and AI investors welcomed TSMC’s announcement of a planned increase in capital expenditures for 2025 to approximately $40 billion, sparking speculation about which portion will fund a new state-of-the-art factory in the US.

Meanwhile, cryptocurrency enthusiasts were astonished by the launch of a Trump memecoin, which skyrocketed to billions in market value. This surge also lifted Bitcoin by 11%, although it caused a decline in many altcoins. China’s GDP growth in the fourth quarter of 2024 rose to 5.4%, arguably driven by front-loaded exports seeking to avoid higher tariffs under Trump’s presidency.

Major equity indices closed the week in positive territory. The S&P 500 and Nasdaq 100 were up by 3%, while the Dow Jones and Russell 2000 gained 3.7% and 4.0%, respectively. The European STOXX 600 and the China-focused Hang Seng also posted gains of 2.4% and 2.7%, respectively. The UK FTSE 100 Index reached a new all-time high above 8,500 points on Friday (see chart).

Macro Outlook for the week

All the above took place in the wake of Donald Trump’s inauguration on Monday, 20 January, a day when US markets were closed in observance of Martin Luther King Day. This week in macro, investors will focus on the UK’s unemployment and wage growth data, following last week’s lower-than-expected inflation, retail sales, and GDP figures. Markets are factoring in significant rate cuts by the Bank of England in 2025, aiming to facilitate a soft landing for the economy.

Attention will also turn to Germany’s economic sentiment index, as investors seek signs of improving sentiment, particularly in light of recent GDP data showing the economy contracted for a second consecutive year. Notably, Germany remains the only major industrialized nation where GDP per capita is projected to stay below 2019 levels through 2025.

Who decides the fate of the yen, the Bank of Japan or Donald Trump?

The yen and the euro have been losing ground against the dollar for months, with the greenback buoyed by a strong US economy and the “Trump Trade,” driven by proposed tax cuts and looming tariffs.

Last week brought some relief: EUR/USD climbed above 1.027, while USD/JPY fell 1% to 156.2. Yen traders responded to Bank of Japan (BoJ) Governor Kazuo Ueda’s hints of a potential rate hike this Friday, following key inflation data due earlier that day.

However, Japan’s options remain limited. Years of sluggish growth and high public debt keep the economy reliant on low interest rates. While the BoJ might stabilise the yen, a major rally seems unlikely. A weaker US dollar could prove more impactful than any BoJ policy shift.

The yen’s fate may ultimately rest with Trump. His inauguration on Monday could shape markets, with a strong dollar still the baseline under his “America First” agenda. However, softer tariffs or fiscal policies could weaken the dollar and give the yen some respite.

Earnings season: big names reporting

The earnings season is entering its crucial second week, with seven of the world’s top 100 largest companies reporting their 2024 Q4 earnings (see below). Investors should recognise that some stock prices may have been influenced by the upcoming presidential transition. In his final days, Joe Biden allocated $26 billion to clean energy projects. Meanwhile, Donald Trump has repeatedly stated his intention to impose a 20% tariff on all goods sold to the US, and a 60% tariff specifically on goods from China. Execution orders, signed by Trump in his first week, could change federal policies from the start and cause unexpected market movements.
