Focus on defensive strategies, particularly around Asia and countries with minimal trade exposure, say investment strategists
INVESTMENT strategists are gearing up for a year of heightened market volatility and trade policy uncertainty, according to their 2025 outlook.
However, Bank of Singapore (BOS) chief economist Mansoor Mohi-uddin believes that investors should be prepared for both downside and upside risks.
Speaking at BOS’ 2025 Outlook conference on Thursday (Jan 9), he pointed to potential risks, such as a surprise move by US president-elect Donald Trump to pull the US out of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization, but also identified possible positive scenarios, including a deal with Iran or a grand bargain with China.
