How the First Fed Rate Cut Impacts SGX Stocks: Key Sectors Set to Benefit
1. Lower Mortgage Rates: Relief for Homeowners! Will More People Enter the Real Estate Market?
Singaporeans with home loans could see their burden eased as banks in Singapore follow the Fed by significantly lowering mortgage rates, with some offering fixed rates as low as 2.8%.
Standard Chartered Bank and Bank of China, among others, have introduced these ultra-low interest rate plans, with a lock-in period of two years. It is said that priority banking clients at Standard Chartered Bank can even secure an even lower rate of 2.75%!
SORA-linked rate has been going down this year.
2. Inflation Eases! Will Daily Life Get Less Stressful?
With the Fed shifting focus from rate hikes to cuts, it signals that inflation might be easing faster than expected.
This could bring relief to Singaporeans, who have been burdened by rising prices and the increase in GST from 7% in 2022 to 9% in 2024.
With Singapore inflation also eases, could this lead to a reduction in GST or more GST vouchers?
3. SGD Appreciation! Currency Exchange Booms: Ready to Travel?
The Singapore dollar has been strengthening against the USD, reaching as high as 0.77. The SGD has already risen by 1.5% against the USD this year, making it the second-best performing currency in Asia.
This appreciation, coupled with the Fed's expected rate cuts, has made currency exchange a hot topic, encouraging more Singaporeans to travel.
SGD appreciating plus holiday, there’s no better time to travel!
This year, the number of Singaporean tour groups to China has increased fivefold, with the Yunnan, Guizhou, and Sichuan routes becoming must-visit destinations.
Many Singaporeans are also heading to Japan for shopping sprees, where spending in SGD can save them up to 40%!

A Federal Reserve rate cut can have several impacts on my life in Singapore, even though it's a U.S. monetary policy action:
1. Lower Borrowing Costs: A lower Fed rate can eventually lead to lower interest rates globally, potentially reducing my borrowing costs.
2. Investment Returns: Lower interest rates might drive investors to seek higher returns in markets outside the U.S., which could affect your investments, especially if I hold assets in global markets.
3. Economic Growth: Lower rates can stimulate global economic activity, which might positively impact Singapore's economy and potentially my job security and income if economic conditions improve.
4. Currency Exchange Rates: A Fed rate cut can influence the strength of the U.S. dollar compared to other currencies, including the Singapore dollar. This could affect travel costs, import prices, and investments in foreign assets.
