What Happened in Singapore This Week 👉 STI Dips on Friday Amid Cautious Sentiment: The Straits Times Index (STI) opened lower on Friday, declining 0.1% or 2.12 points to 3,580.11 by 9:01 am. This drop occurred despite positive overnight gains in global markets, indicating a potential cautious sentiment among local investors. Banking stocks, particularly UOB and DBS, contributed to the decline, while Advantus Holdings and Progen Holdings led in trading volume with significant gains. 👉 MRT Disruption Impacts PSLE: The ongoing MRT disruption on the East-West Line caused concerns for students taking the Primary School Leaving Examination (PSLE). While taxi companies offered free rides and exam authorities assured flexibility, the incident highlights potential vulnerabilities in the transport system. 👉 Seagrass Restoration Project Launches: Singapore's first seagrass restoration project is underway, aiming to enhance marine biodiversity and coastal resilience. This initiative demonstrates a commitment to environmental sustainability alongside economic development. 👉 JUMBO Group Founder Fined: The founding member of the JUMBO Group was fined over a traffic accident.

Our CIO webinar featured Ivy Ng, CFA, CESGA, CIO of DWS APAC, along with Tomoaki Fujii, CFA, Co-Chief Investment Officer, Head of Equity Investment, and Eizo Tomimura 冨村 英三, Senior General Manager of Investments at Nissay Asset Management. The webinar provided valuable insights into the current and future landscape of the Japanese equity market, particularly in the context of recent political and economic developments. 🔑 Keynotes from the webinar: ➡️ The election of Shigeru Ishiba as President of LDP initially led to a decline in Japanese equities, but his recent policy statements indicate a continuation of Abenomics, with a focus on economic growth and stability. ➡️ Rate hikes of 0.25% are expected in January and July 2024, with the trajectory influenced by US economic conditions and their impact on the yen. ➡️ Japan’s core inflation has exceeded 2%, driven by global factors and a tightening labour market, with sustained wage increases expected due to a shrinking workforce. ➡️ Japanese equities are positioned for growth, underpinned by record-high corporate earnings, significant corporate reforms, and new tax incentives to encourage individual investment. For institutional investors only.
