Feb 3 weekly report:

Published on 3 February 2025 at 18:35

Over the weekend, the Trump administration announced new tariffs on its three largest trading partners: Canada, Mexico, and China. The equity indices mirrored the previous Monday’s DeepSeek-related decline, with SPY gapping down sharply in pre-market trading, opening near the previous low around $590. A confirmed break below this level could mark the beginning of a medium-term correction.

 

Intraday upside tests are likely to face resistance near the mid-term moving average around $595. If the price fails to hold above and quickly pulls back, the market is expected to remain in a broad range-bound pattern, with $600 acting as a critical resistance level ahead.

 

 

Sector Impact:

The semiconductor sector and leading AI stocks are the most directly impacted by DeepSeek-related volatility.

The auto sector is particularly sensitive to the U.S.-Canada-Mexico trade conflict, followed by the energy sector.

 

 

Policy Implications:

Since the new tariffs are set to take effect starting Tuesday, it implies that Trump is leaving room for negotiation.

However, from the Canadian government’s side, there appears to be little clarity on the U.S.’s actual goals or intentions, raising uncertainty.

 

 

Market Outlook:

Short-term volatility is inevitable.

Medium- to long-term direction depends on how long the trade conflict lasts and whether it escalates.

In the current environment, AI leaders, traditional automakers, consumer goods, and energy stocks may all require revaluation.

 

 

Trading Strategy:

Risk management should be prioritized.

Patience is key until greater policy clarity emerges.

There is a high probability of a short-term technical rebound after a sharp selloff, but institutions are likely to reassess mid-term impacts until a concrete deal is reached.
