How the trade war has impacted our portfolio this year

SINGAPORE (Aug 10): The trade war has become a reality as the US and China have imposed 25% tariffs on each other’s products worth US$34 billion ($46.4 billion) each.

Synchronised global growth, as anticipated by economists, did not quite materialise in the first half of this year. Although strong growth was seen in the US, the same could not be said in Europe and Japan.

In Singapore, new cooling measures were recently implemented to curb “euphoria” in the property market.
