Week 22
April 2024
Be mindful of potential market volatility next week as several US mega-cap
companies are announcing earnings.
Risk-off
sentiment continues to weigh on US stocks as hopes for interest rate cuts fade.
However, it's worth noting that US financials remained resilient during the
sell-off due as the banks benefit from high-interest margins.
Interestingly,
US listed Chinese tech companies were largely unaffected during Friday’s tech sell-off,
which could indicate supply exhaustion and potential trade or allocation opportunities.
Heads up
for the Singapore market next week as market will due to soften in view of DBS going
ex-bonus on Monday.
This
week, constrained retaliation actions by countries in the Middle East provide
some level of relieve for investors and global citizens.
Nil trade
set-up for the week ahead but will update when we identify any.
