S-REITs’ yields remain compelling for defensive investors amid market volatility
The ongoing uncertainty due to tariffs and trade tensions has caused significant volatility in global markets over the past week, as investors take a risk-off approach. Real estate investment trusts in Singapore (S-REITs) have not been spared from the weaker sentiment, with a large sell off last week, even though a temporary reprieve from certain tariffs was announced on April 9. Since the “Liberation Day” tariffs were announced by US President Donald Trump on April 2, the iEdge S-REIT index has fallen 7.5% as of April 10, reversing the positive performance seen last month. Even so, Singapore’s REIT benchmark has fared better than other major stock indices over the same period. By comparison, the broader $Straits Times Index(STI.

Tariffs are good, is it time to buy Apple and Nvidia at the bottom?
According to the latest news from CNBC and other US media on the 12th, according to the latest guidelines of US Customs, smartphones and computers will not be affected by the Trump administration's "reciprocal tariff" policy.The new tariff guidance also includes exemptions for other electronic devices and components, including semiconductors, solar cells, flat-screen TV monitors, flash drives, memory cards, and solid-state drives used to store data. It is reported that this tariff exemption applies to all countries affected by Trump's so-called "reciprocal tariffs".Some analysts believe that one of the purposes of Trump's waving the "tariff stick" is to let the American manufacturing industry return. But Wall Street is not optimistic about this. The latest report released by Bank of Americ
$Advanced Micro Devices(AMD)$ The market doesn’t care about potential anymore. It’s not pricing vision, ambition, or a roadmap full of what-ifs. It’s pricing execution. And right now, AMD isn’t executing -- not where it matters. Not in data center. Not in AI. Not at scale.We’re past the point of giving credit for adjacency. This isn’t 2021, where throwing around “AI” in an earnings call earned you a premium multiple. The hype has matured. The narrative has narrowed. Now it’s about infrastructure. Ecosystem. Dominance. $NVDA isn’t just leading this market -- it’s defining it. And AMD, for all the talk, is still stuck in the preamble.If AI demand were truly diversifying away from Nvidia, we’d feel it in AMD’s numbers. But their latest report gave us

Rebuild Your Portfolio Like a Government Recalculating GDP When the market feels chaotic — with policy shifts, tariffs, and volatility in play — it’s not always about doing more. Sometimes, the real edge comes from stepping back and refining what truly drives your portfolio. Just like how governments update how they calculate GDP to reflect changing realities, we too can revisit our own allocation — not just to react, but to realign with purpose. Here’s a simple, focused approach: • Anchor around 4 strong, long-term growth stocks — names you understand, believe in, and can track with confidence. • Set aside 1 position (10–15%) for a high-upside, high-volatility play — something with potential, but that you’re prepared to manage actively. • Keep your core tight — 5 names max. It’s not
If inflation persists—possibly driven by tariffs—it could force yields higher. Trump’s efforts to bring manufacturing back to the U.S. will raise production costs, especially compared to China or Vietnam. In the interim, tariffs mean higher consumer prices. While inflation fell to 2.4% in March, that was before the tariffs kicked in. A reacceleration is possible. If inflation rises amid economic slowdown, we could be headed for stagflation—a toxic mix where few asset classes perform well. Bonds would suffer, and growth stocks may struggle too. This is the worst-case scenario. A selloff in Treasuries could signal that investors no longer see them as safe, given America’s debt load. U.S. Treasuries total $51 trillion—40% of the global bond market. If the U.S. faces a credit downgrade or, wor
