Market Strategy
Stay invested in defensive names with selective exposure to cyclical earnings recovery stories. We note that optimism of the economic recovery is rising amidst Singapore’s declining COVID-19 infections, revision in 2020 NODX forecast to growth from a decline, and rising expectation of strong profit growth in 2021. However, the global COVID-19 situation remains fluid, with a resurgence of cases in some countries. We recommend investors to stick with REITs and defensive stocks, while selectively adding exposure to cyclical recovery names in consumer, property and transport sectors.
