Why are Singapore Reits up and Singapore Banks down?

In this video, I discuss why Singapore REITs stocks are up and why Singapore banks stocks are down. It all has to do with how the market is perceiving future interest rate movements.

Key Points

Singapore REITs are companies that own and operate real estate.

Singapore banks are companies that lend money to businesses and individuals.

Interest rates are the cost of borrowing money.

When interest rates go up, REITs’ borrowing costs increase, which can put pressure on their profits and dividends.

When interest rates go up, banks’ lending income increases, which can boost their profits.

The market is currently expecting interest rates to fall in the future.

This is why Singapore REITs stocks are up and Singapore banks stocks are down.
