Interest rate cuts will affect us 3 ways:
☝🏻 As borrowing costs come down, debt will become easier to manage. We Singaporeans love buying property, and lower rates mean a higher loan amount within the TDSR and MSR caps. So property prices go up! And loan volume goes up! Reits benefit as their portfolio will be revalued upwards. Banks benefit from the loan volume.
🥈Debt payments reduce and reits will be able to pay out more of their income as dividends. A higher DPU benefits current holders and share price will appreciate.
3️⃣ Lower rates mean it is easier to conduct business. The economy will grow as companies can expand, hire more, pay more. With improved employment and wages, consumption can increase and GDP growth will come. Thats an overall boon for SG stock market!
