What we measure
After you allow analytics, Google receives public page paths, language and browser/device information to help us understand readership. We omit search text, URL parameters, account pages, community pages, watchlists, portfolio records and form entries. Advertising personalization is disabled. Your choice is saved in this browser for 180 days. This choice controls FinanceVelix analytics, not the separate market widgets you open. We also count calculator completions, coin page views, sharing actions, image downloads and affiliate link clicks. Calculation inputs and results are not sent. Optional diagnostics also measure page and chart loading times, interaction responsiveness and layout shifts, compared by country and device in Google Analytics. Google Analytics infers the country; this site does not collect precise location. After consent, we also count moves between articles, assets and tools. Symbols entered in forms and calculation values are not sent.
HSBC downgraded its stance on global equities to neutral from max overweight on October 26, 2026, citing renewed geopolitical concerns around the Middle East and the prospect of artificial intelligence regulation ahead of the US midterm elections.
Why HSBC changed its global equities stance
The move shifts HSBC’s stated position away from its most overweight stance. Its concerns span both geopolitical risks in the Middle East and potential US regulation affecting AI.
In a note, HSBC said bearish narratives around AI would be hard to overcome in the coming weeks, although it expected eventual support.
