Weekly Market Review
- Macro Update
Last week witnessed a tumultuous wave of market reactions triggered by policies initiated post-Trump’s inauguration. The S&P 500 surged by 1.7% in response to the absence of immediate tariff implementations, offering a sense of reprieve. Conversely, the STI witnessed a marginal decline of 0.2%, primarily attributed to the commencement of the earnings season. On the economic front, the US inflation registered a drop, with core CPI marking a 0.2% rise on a month-on-month basis in December. This positive development fostered anticipations of likely Fed rate adjustments in the foreseeable future. Nonetheless, the interest rates are projected to remain static in the upcoming meetings until a probable revision in June. The US 10-year government Bond yields sustained their elevated stance at 4.6%, reflecting lingering inflation apprehensions stemming from the policy directions initiated by Trump.
