To Investors :
Investment tip takeaway 🦉 this week:
Start to buy on dip
The performance of STI was lifted up by UOB 3Q result released last week and making STI the only market in Asia that closed in positive last Friday. And this week, 2 other banks DBS and OCBC will also announce their 3Q earnings on this Thursday (3/11) as well as Friday (4/11) respectively. Somehow, both announcement dates are also chosen right after the Fed Meeting on Wednesday night. A such, investors can take the chance to buy into the market whenever market pull back, awaiting for the Fed's interest rate decision.
Having the America's 2022 midterm elections are held on November 8, 2022, the U.S. markets are likely to stay uptrend for the first half of November.
