As predicted in my previous article, the market has started its correction. We do expect more downside but from an STI perspective, there is strong support at 3,000 levels. Despite the softening of the stock market, the Singapore economy has been demonstrating resilience. Key economic data remains positive and with the relaxation fo COVID safety measures and further opening of borders, we do expect the economy to continue growing.

So what does it mean when the market is softening and yet the economy is doing well?

It is probably a good time to watch the market as we are likely to see a window period of good companies at undervalued prices! In my watchlist I now have REITs and dividend stocks which I am ready to buy in the next 1 or 2 months. Do start building your watchlist to capture this opportunity!

    I'm pretty surprise actually that Sg market isn't badly affected.  in fact I see $Prime US ReitUSD(OXMU.SI)$ and $MANULIFE US REIT(BTOU.SI)$ badly affected primarily due to their high exposure in US

    I agree with the author's view that SG market is resilient this year. My reason is because SG is mainly make up of industrial, financial and REIT where as US is experiencing larger drop due to large

      economy with no recession? I do somewhat agree with his view given that there is no big catalyst to justify a bigger drop. In any case, any drop is an opportunity to DCA in my view.

    It's important to note that the SG Market lags behind the US. Whatever that is happening in the US will surely ripple to our shores. It is just a matter of time. We can reference the AFC to know more.

    There is a disconnect between the stock market and the economy.  The stock market actually moves independently from the economic situation.  So even though there has been lots of talk about recession currently, the actual economy is not in recession yet.

    In fact the market is forward looking and has already priced in the recession.  That is why the stocks have been volatile lately.

    Also rising interest rates actually hurt the stock markets.  This is because it makes it more expensive for companies to get loans especially growth stocks.

    That is why even though the Singapore economy is doing well, the market has started its correction.
