Weekly Five Key Areas: Earnings, Macro, Singapore Stocks, Options, Futures
Covering five major market segments this week to help you stay ahead of market trends and plan your trades effectively!
🌍 Monday — Macro Economy
Major U.S. stock indexes finished the week lower, driven in part by some hawkish commentary from Federal Reserve officials that seemed to dampen investor optimism around the pace of further interest rate cuts. The Nasdaq Composite fared worst, falling 0.65%, followed by the Russell 2000 Index, which registered its first weekly loss since early August. The S&P MidCap 400 Index and S&P 500 Index also fell, while the Dow Jones Industrial Average was little changed. Within the S&P 500, the energy sector rallied, advancing alongside oil prices in response to President Donald Trump’s call for European Union nations to end purchases of Russian oil and gas. Most other sectors declined.
Negative sentiment during the week was partially attributed to comments from several Fed officials that appeared to signal a more tempered approach to further monetary policy easing than investors were hoping for. Speaking Tuesday, Fed Chair Jerome Powell noted that the economy is in a “challenging situation” due to near-term upside inflation risks and downside labor market risks while also acknowledging that “equity prices are fairly highly valued.” Several other Fed officials, including St. Louis Fed President Alberto Musalem and Atlanta Fed President Raphael Bostic, cautioned against further monetary policy easing, citing concerns regarding persistently high inflation.

I favour quality, cash-flow-strong names in defensive growth sectors (healthcare, utilities, industrial tech) while trimming exposure to over-owned AI plays. The recent gold and silver surge signals risk aversion beneath the surface, suggesting investors quietly hedge exuberance.
Macrowise, the Fed’s path of limited rate cuts means real yields stay restrictive, keeping volatility high. Any earnings disappointment could trigger swift rotations. I’d maintain partial hedges, some cash, and exposure to commodities as insurance.
In short, my mood: alert optimism — still participating, but ready to defend.
