Singapore REITs Benefit as US Inflation Declines (Exclusive SGD 10 Voucher)
The US inflation rate has recently declined to a more than two-year low, reaching 3% last month, marking just one-third of the level it was a year ago. This drop in inflation has led to plunging yields on short-term Treasury yields. This could indicate that the Federal Reserve is nearing the end of its hiking cycle. A beneficiary of lower interest rate is the Singapore REITs (S-REITs). Currently, the Singapore REITS is trading at 6.2% dividend yield and 0.93x P/B, as indicated by the FTSE ST All-Share Real Estate Investment Trusts Index.

Keppel DC REIT: Where Data Meets Returns
Pure-play data centre [By Edmund Chan: CIO of Tiger Fund Management] I remembered meeting the management of Keppel DC REIT (“KDCREIT ”) during their IPO roadshow in 2014. Since then, KDCREIT has always been a core holding in my REIT portfolio. KDCREIT has done remarkably well, generating returns of 2.5x in less than 10 years. It has outperformed the STI Index by 216%. This is an amazing feat, considering KDCREIT is a dividend stock, and not a growth stock. Early this year, with high interest surrounding ChatGPT, I was asked in an Lianhe Zaobao newspaper interview about AI-related stocks in Singapore. I immediately mentioned KDCREIT $KEPPEL DC REIT(AJBU.SI)$ . Hence, I want to re-visit the thesis of Keppel DC REIT in this post (@$2.13; 10/07). H

SUNeVISION: Hong Kong's Leading Data Center Provider
Proxy to AI Boom [By Edmund Chan: CIO of Tiger Fund Management] A lot of AI stocks have run up. So, it is timely to look at laggard plays. I’ve decided to look at the Hong Kong market since it has lagged behind other developed markets. This year, the Hang Seng Index has declined 3% compared to 17% rise of S&P500 Index. That is where I found a gem - a company that I have followed for many years. That company is SUNeVISION. SUNeVISION $SUNEVISION(01686)$ is the largest data center company in Hong Kong. The ongoing AI boom will result in a surge of data usage and, correspondingly, lead to higher demand for data centers. This will greatly benefit SUNeVISION (@$4.04; 03/07 Close).

Baidu: The next Alibaba
Top AI stock pick [By Edmund Chan: CIO of Tiger Fund Management] Here’s a thought experiment. Will you invest in a company that is: A combination of “Google” + “Azure/AWS” + “Tesla” + “OpenAI” + “Netflix” Operates in the second largest economy in the world Trades at 13x P/E and 13% EPS growth If your answer is a resounding “Yes”, Baidu $Baidu(BIDU)$ will be one of your top stock picks. The share price of Chinese companies has experienced a severe downturn in the past 3 years. The market cap of Alibaba has crashed 75% from its peak of $840 billion. While this is a lamentable state of affairs for some, I believe this is an excellent opportunity to invest into Chinese companies. In this space, my top pick is Baidu (@$122.85; 31/05 Close).

The Fed fund rate now stands at a target range of 5%-5.25%, which is the highest it has been since August 2007.Source: Bloomberg During the news conference that followed the meeting, Chairman Jerome Powell confirmed that "a decision on a pause was not made today."

10 Mar - Tiger Market Watch-HSI
US equities sank ahead of the keenly anticipated non-farm payroll tonight and next week’s Consumer Price Index (CPI). Markets are expecting a 225k increase in payrolls in February compared to the 517k in the prior month while average hourly earnings are expected to rise 0.3% month on month. This suggests that the job market will continue to remain tight, and inflation appears to remain sticky.During the congressional testimony held earlier in the week, the Federal Reserve’s Chairman, Jerome Powell, also signaled for higher interest rates than what the central bank policy makers had anticipated leading to a risk-off sentiment in the market. The hawkish tone raised the probability of a 50bps increase in March’s FOMC meeting. Furthermore, December’s “dot-plot” suggesting a terminal rate of 5.

US markets fell as US ISM manufacturing index edged up to 47.7 in February. While the index indicated a contraction of factory activity, ISM prices paid for materials rose for the second straight month indicating that input prices continue to remain high. US 10-year yield rose to 4% as the risk of more interest rate hikes looms with inflation risks still unabated. Markets are now pricing in a higher probability of a terminal rate of 5.5% in September which implies at least 3 more 25 basis point rate hikes. This comes after US consumer prices rose by 0.5% m-o-m in January because of the continued tight labor market and certain sticky factors within the inflation basket such as rents and food. Furthermore, tensions between Russia and Ukraine have also further escalated since the start of th

SG Budget 2023: An inflation paradox
Beware of second-order impact In Budget 2023, the Singapore government has noble intentions to fight inflation. However, the Budget measures could drive up inflation instead of bring it down. This is due to the second-order impact from measures such as cash handouts and higher taxes. Here are my insights: Inflation Drivers Demand-pull inflation Wage-push inflation Higher HDB Grant Higher property taxes Higher tobacco tax Disinflation Driver Boosting innovation and productivity Inflation Drivers Demand-pull inflation Singapore's 2023 Budget plans to give up to S$9.6 billion in handouts.

The Fed sees ongoing increases to the target range and expects no rate cuts in 2023.
