A recent HSBC survey reveals that high-net-worth investors in Hong Kong and Singapore are optimistic about stock market growth driven by advancements in artificial intelligence (AI). Nearly 55% of respondents believe major stock indices like the Hang Seng, Straits Times, and S&P 500 could see gains of 5 to 10% by the end of 2025. However, there is a notable skepticism, with 40% considering AI an 'overhyped profit driver.'

The MSCI China Index has also shown impressive growth, attributed to advancements in AI technologies like DeepSeek's large language model.
