So, What Went Down?
Alright, grab your popcorn ’cause we’re diving into this Weekly Market Review rollercoaster. Teaming up with those folks over at Securities Investors Association Singapore (or SIAS if you’re tight for time), we’ve got our magnifying glass on the nitty-gritty of the global equity market like we’re some kind of stock detectives. Plus, we’re throwing Keppel DC REIT into the mix because, well, why not? But hey, don’t just sit there—hit play on that video they’ve got. You know, the one that has all the details we can’t cram into this messy little rant of mine.
Weekly Market Madness: Hold Onto Your Hats
Macro Update Time (1:52 mark for the specific obsessives)
Okay, let’s talk about the S&P 500. It’s doing this thing, dropping 1.5% to tumble below the 5300 line, which sounds like it’s shrugging off last week’s sugar-high gains. Balanced universe, right? Meanwhile, bond yields decided they’d had enough drama for a minute. Picture the US 10-year yield lounging from 4.5% down to a chill 4.2% ’cause, ya know, fewer tariff ghosts haunting the night.
Now Singapore’s got a bit of swagger in their step—how do I put it, the STI burst out like it had Red Bull for breakfast, leaping up by 5.6%! Basically, it bounced back like a champ from last week’s tariff titty-twisters. Smoother bond yields and a pep in the market’s step gave it a solid boost.
Oh, and logistics REITs? They’re feeling a bit of the love again. Mapletree Logistics Trust and Frasers Logistics & Commercial Trust are strutting around with recovering stock prices thanks to calmer bond waves and the logistics hype chillin’ out a bit.
And let’s not forget about UOB and SGX on their little joyrides—UOB’s up 7.2% while SGX is grinning at 8.2%. Think rising hopes and expectations fueling those lifts…
And just like that, I’ve run out of words before we ran out of news. But hey, that’s what the video’s for, right?
