Weekly Five Key Areas: Earnings, Macro, Singapore Stocks, Options, Futures
Covering five major market segments this week to help you stay ahead of market trends and plan your trades effectively!
🌍 Monday — Macro Economy
U.S. stocks declined last week as investor sentiment was dampened by growing concerns over AI-driven disruption risks and escalating global trade tensions. The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 1.31%, while the S&P 500 and Nasdaq also posted losses despite a brief mid-week rebound ahead of NVIDIA's earnings. The chipmaker's strong quarterly results ultimately failed to reverse the risk-off mood, with markets closing lower through Friday.
On the economic front, January producer price inflation unexpectedly accelerated to 0.5% month-over-month, driven by the largest services price increase since July 2025, while factory orders declined 0.7% in December. Consumer confidence edged higher in February but remained well below recent peaks, and Treasury yields dropped below 4% for the first time since November as investors sought safety amid equity market weakness.
The week ahead: March 2-6

Stocks may drop at the open due to uncertainty.
Oil prices often spike, especially if supply routes (like the Strait of Hormuz) are threatened.
Defense stocks may rise.
Energy stocks may rise.
Airlines and travel stocks often fall.
Safe-haven assets (gold, U.S. Treasuries, U.S. dollar) often move up.
What Determines the Direction Today
Is this a contained event or broader conflict?
Are oil facilities or shipping lanes involved?
Is the U.S. directly entering the conflict?
How are futures trading pre-market?
What’s happening with oil prices overnight?
If oil spikes sharply (say 5–10%+), broader markets often react negatively.
Important Perspective
Historically:
Geopolitical shocks often cause short-term volatility
Markets tend to recover once uncertainty stabilizes
Longer-term direction usually depends more on interest rates, earnings, and economic data.
Iran's leadership structure has built their wealth off the suffering of the people and will not willingly relinquish their grip.
And Trunp will double down and look to finish what he started (the strikes on Iran nuclear facilities during June 2025) for good.
The impact on oil is the obvious call, but gold will resume its hike upwards after being tripped up by the US fed appointment a few weeks back.
