BT Mark to Market: Stocks running but check your FOMO (Ep 30)
Why has the spate of bank failures made Ben Paul even more bearish about the market than he was at the beginning of this year? He explains.
Synopsis: Listen to senior correspondent Ben Paul’s analysis and insight on market trends and corporate issues in Singapore in this podcast series based on his weekly column in The Business Times.
Keep your FOMO in check! The recent bank failures in the West were not just about poor management but also a manifestation of tighter monetary policy working its way through the financial system. Yet, the Fed does not appear ready to cut rates immediately. Chasing the market at this point could be a bad idea.
Highlights:
01:36 Waiting for the next shoe to drop
06:13 S&P500, STI have shrugged off the bad news
09:32 Parsing Fed’s latest comments, rate projections
11:38 Weaker REITs may succumb to financial stress
