Recession??


Hey Folk


Maybe there is a chance for Spore stock market to be alive again. But is always a double age sword. More hot money in mean retail investor are easier to lose out.

So let see how things are rolled out.

Last week most important things FOMC

I quote from FOMC statement

Information received since the Federal Open Market Committee met in January suggests that economic activity has been expanding at a moderate pace despite the global economic and financial developments of recent months. Household spending has been increasing at a moderate rate, and the housing sector has improved further; however, business fixed investment and net exports have been soft. A range of recent indicators, including strong job gains, points to additional strengthening of the labor market. Inflation picked up in recent months; however, it continued to run below the Committee's 2 percent longer-run objective, partly reflecting declines in energy prices and in prices of non-energy imports. Market-based measures of inflation compensation remain low; survey-based measures of longer-term inflation expectations are little changed, on balance, in recent months.”

Quote “The global economic outlook has softened since the start of the year, alongside a fall in oil prices and increased volatility in global financial markets. The advanced economies are expected to see continuing modest but uneven recovery. US growth is expected to improve slightly compared to 2015 as domestic demand improves. The Eurozone is expected to pick up slightly due to an improving unemployment situation and continued easing of monetary conditions. However, uncertainty remains over whether China’s transition to a more sustainable growth path may encounter short-term challenges. 

The Singapore economy grew 2.0% in 2015, and is expected to continue growing at a modest pace of 1-3% for 2016…..”

Direct copy and paste, see what our finance ministry have said.
