CSOP USD Money Market Fund Wrap-20240527

Over the past week, a series of secondary economic releases were scheduled, most of which reported lower-than-expected results compared to the market consensus. Despite this, treasury bond yields experienced a significant increase throughout the week, primarily driven by short-duration bonds. This surge can be attributed to a reversal in the sharp rally observed following the recent CPI report and Federal Reserve minutes released on May 22. This fluctuation may persist in the bond market in the near term. That being said, short-term maturities are nearing their recent peaks following the sell-off, presenting an appealing opportunity for a tactical bullish perspective. Thus, we expect CSOPUMM to continue to deliver stable yield in the near term. As of 20240524, the fund has gross yield of 5

It’s Time to invest in Japan following Warren Buffett?

Recently, the Nikkei 225 reached a post-bubble high on May 19, 2023, achieving its highest level since 1990. In fact, as early as 2020, Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway revealed a long-term bet by acquiring slightly more than a 5% stake in Japan's main trading houses - Mitsubishi Corp., Mitsui & Co., Itochu Corp., Marubeni Corp., and Sumitomo Corp. Buffett visited Japan for the first time in 12 years in 2023, and he has since increased his stakes in Japan's five largest trading houses to 7.4%, which is Berkshire Hathaway's largest investment outside of the US.

· The August CPI and PPI data suggest that the Fed's preferred inflation gauge, the core PCE deflator, will likely remain steady at 0.16% when it is released on Sep 27. This could prompt officials to start cutting rates this month. However, without a clear signal from the Fed for a significant rate cut, a 25-bp move in September is more likely. · The core PCE deflator for Aug is estimated to be 0.16%, consistent with the monthly pace required for inflation to return to the Fed's 2% target.

Singapore REITs Could See Valuations Lift; Singapore Industrial Production Surged 29.1% YoY in October【CSOP Fixed Income Weekly】

【SRT】 As of 28 Nov 2025 (Fri), $CSOP iEdge SREIT ETF S$(SRT.SI)$ was slightly up at 1.93% WTD in SGD, and rose 14.56% YTD in SGD.

In other positive news for the sector, Fitch analysts say that S-REITs are likely to speed up asset acquisitions, divestments and enhancements as borrowing costs moderate.

Last Wednesday, at the FOMC meeting, the Fed kept rates constant at 5.25%-5.50% for the sixth consecutive meeting. The dovish FOMC statement and less-hawkish-than-anticipated Powell’s Q&A emphasized that a rate hike is unlikely to be the next policy move. As predicted, the US Treasury maintained the coupon auction size while increasing TIPS sizes. The Treasury also announced no plans for cash management buybacks this quarter but initiated the liquidity support buyback program. Last Thursday’s data release indicate GDP cooled in Q1 while employment cost increased by the most in a year (+4.7% q/q), a sign that inflation is persistent, supporting the Fed’s hawkish pivot to keep rates high for longer than expected.
