Singapore investors are likely to weigh another round of trade wars between the world's biggest economies, Asian currencies' potential rally, and Hong Kong and China's strong tech sectors in what is shaping up to be a “year of volatility,” analysts told Singapore Business Review.
Despite the expected trade uncertainty — fanned by incoming US President-elect Donald Trump’s threat to raise tariffs against China, Canada, and Mexico — most analysts are not too bothered by Asia’s chances this time around.
“We’re tempted to be pretty sanguine about the impact of tariffs,” Mel Siew, a portfolio manager at Muzinich & Co., said in an interview. “The Asian region has got very strong fundamentals. You can make a case that there should be a pretty limited impact as well this time around, despite the initial reaction and volatility.”
Asian equities and currencies would probably perform well, according to analysts.
In Singapore, industries such as fintech, digital assets, and green technologies are rapidly expanding, driven by strong government support, innovation hubs, and regulatory clarity, said Khai Lin Sng, co-founder & chief investment officer, Alta Alternative Investments.
Here are some investment ideas for the next 12 months.
Idea 1: Sell Li & Fung and peers
Despite their more upbeat outlook for the US-China trade situation, analysts still cautioned against companies in sectors that may be caught between the trade wars.
“Li & Fung is a clear sell,” Daniel Tan, a portfolio manager at Grasshopper Asset Management, told Singapore Business Review. The Hong Kong-based supply
chain company endured a sell-off at the height of the US-China trade wars in 2018 and went private in 2020. “I will have that positioning preference for similar quality names in a similar industry,” he added.
