WHY THESE WILL STILL BE THE TWO GROUP OF FACTORS INVESTORS NEED TO LOOK OUT?
Dear readers, I believe you would agree with me that compared to 2017, the current year to date has been rather dynamic for stocks. While it seems to be a raft of factors, I will attribute them to just two groups of factors. And it is none other than US and China.
US factors include the policies and stances by President Trump. Trade tensions, geopolitical relations with North Korea and other economic measures are likely the spotlights in the Trump agenda. Also to watch is the interest rate decision from rhe Federal Reserves. On the China front, I believe the economic numbers are key. China is the largest consumer in the world for commodities and commodity prices will be dependent on how investors read the numbers from China. Larger markets aside, Singapore being a small market is ultimately a price taker afterall. Join the emailing list to receive regular Financial and Singapore stocks newsletters too!
