HSBC lifts S&P 500 year-end target to 6,400 on AI boom, easing policy uncertainty
Aug 5 (Reuters) - HSBC on Tuesday raised its year-end S&P 500 (.SPX), opens new tab index target by more than 800 points to 6,400, citing euphoria around artificial intelligence and easing U.S. policy uncertainty. The upgrade comes after similar moves from other brokerages, including Goldman Sachs and BofA Global Research, last month. "The AI trade is powering the tech/AI cohort higher (roughly half of the S&P 500), while reduced policy uncertainty (namely tariffs) is fueling the 'rest' of the market," HSBC strategists wrote in a note. The S&P 500 has rebounded 30.8% since its April 8 low, following U.S. President Donald Trump's 'Liberation Day' tariffs. The index notched fresh highs in July, driven by upbeat earnings from tech giants Microsoft (MSFT.O), opens new tab and Meta Platforms (META.O), opens new tab, which renewed investor optimism around AI. HSBC's new target represents a marginal 1.1% upside to the index's last close at 6,329.94. Its previous target was 5,600 for the index. The brokerage expects slower growth in the U.S. in the second half of the year, allowing the Federal Reserve to reduce interest rates, and sees the tariff impact to remain muted and temporary. But in its bull-case scenario, HSBC expects the index to end the year at 7,000. "We believe there is still room for margins to expand in see valuations as stretched for the tech sector," HSBC strategists said in a note to clients.

India services growth hits 11-month high in July on stronger exports, PMI shows
BENGALURU, Aug 5 (Reuters) - Growth in India's services sector accelerated to an 11-month high in July, driven by strong international demand and sustained domestic sales, a survey showed on Tuesday. The HSBC India Services Purchasing Managers' Index (PMI) (INPMIS=ECI), opens new tab, compiled by S&P Global, inched up to 60.5 in July from 60.4 in June, confounding a preliminary estimate that showed a drop to 59.8. PMI readings above 50.0 indicate growth in activity on a monthly basis while those below point to a contraction. The latest reading showed the dominant services sector has been expanding for four years. The new export business sub-index - a key gauge of international demand - showed a marked acceleration in July, registering the second-strongest expansion in a year. Total new business remained robust despite easing slightly from June's pace, supported by advertising efforts and new client acquisitions. Among service categories, finance and insurance emerged as the top performer for both new orders and business activity, while real estate and business services recorded the slowest growth. Despite robust demand firms significantly slowed the pace of hiring to a 15-month low. Price pressures intensified in July as firms faced higher costs for food items, freight and labour. Service providers passed these increases on to customers, with the rate of charge inflation slightly exceeding input cost inflation. Any acceleration in inflation could affect the Reserve Bank of India's monetary policy decision-making. The central bank is expected to hold its repo rate steady at 5.50% at its August 4-6 meeting but cut its key policy rate once next quarter, according to a Reuters poll. Business confidence improved as firms anticipated benefits from marketing initiatives, technological innovation and growing online presence. The HSBC India Composite PMI Output Index, which includes manufacturing, edged up to 61.1 in July from 61.0 in June, indicating the strongest expansion since April 2024.
