A stock that offers shelter from Trump’s mayhem

[SINGAPORE] With global trade under pressure from US President Donald Trump’s tariffs, there could be a significant slowdown in economic activity and big cuts to corporate earnings forecasts in the months ahead. Meanwhile, higher inflation could push bond yields up.

For investors with time on their hands, however, scouring the remote corners of the market for promising small-cap companies that do not usually attract attention could be rewarding.
