3rd February | Hong Kong
Standard Chartered Bank has launched an AI confidence index (AI Bubble Meter) indicating potential 5% to 10% return for AI theme in next 3 to 6 months, and new CIO Equity Newsletter (Long Story Short) providing key equity market insights, developments & trends. The new CIO Equity Newsletter features 3 sections with 1) The story, 2) Long (Positive implications) & 3) Short (Negative implications). Announcement (3/2/26): “Standard Chartered’s (“the Bank”) Global Chief Investment Office (CIO) has released a new CIO equity newsletter titled Long Story Short, outlining key equity market insights, developments and trends. This regular newsletter serves to distil key equity market drivers into a concise format, featuring three sections: “The Story,” “Long (positive implications),” and “Short (negative implications). As artificial intelligence (AI) continues to drive global markets, questions remain around whether it represents a bubble for investors. In this inaugural edition, the Bank is introducing its AI bubble meter — a confidence index designed to help investors navigate the broader AI landscape. For the month of February, the AI bubble meter shows an improvement in the AI confidence index to a better risk-reward profile, suggesting a potential 5 – 10% return for the AI theme over the next 3 – 6 months. However, with AI adoption rates accelerating, the Bank remains cautious on traditional business models facing disruption risk, particularly across hardware, legacy software and other service-related industries.”

Sundeep Gantori, Chief Investment Officer, Equities: “We rolled out our new AI Bubble Meter in this first Long Story Short because investor sentiment remains fragile, given the evolving geopolitical landscape and lingering concerns around the AI narrative. We endeavour for future editions of the newsletter to cover broader equity topics, including the most topical and relevant equity narratives globally. Importantly, we hope our views will offer investors perspectives on how they can navigate the equity market in 2026.”
