YOUR PHILLIP SUMMARY
The S&P 500 index clinched another all-time high on Tuesday afternoon, even as trading in assets perceived as safe havens, like U.S. Treasuries, benefitted from pessimism about the global economic outlook and the prospect of an ongoing trade war with China. The Dow Jones Industrial Average was up 69 points, or 0.26%, at 26,786.75, the S&P 500 gained 0.29%, or 8.7 points, setting a new record of 2,973.02, while the Nasdaq Composite Index closed about 18 points higher, or 0.22%, to reach 8,1069.06. Low debt yields globally and the prospect of renewed monetary policy stimulus from global central banks are encouraging equity investors.

RESEARCH REPORT
Singapore Banking Monthly – Consumer weakness offset by business loans
Recommendation: OVERWEIGHT (Maintained), Analyst: Tin Min Ying
– Singapore loan growth stable at 2.08% YoY. Consumer loans (-0.39% YoY)
contracted for the second time in decades, dragged by persistent weakness in
housing loans.
– Domestic deposits rose 7.4% YoY, held up by fixed deposit growth of 22.0%
YoY, the fastest in twelve years. CASA deposits continues to contract at -1.1%
YoY.
– 3M SIBOR stable at 2.002%, while 3M SOR dipped 22 bps to 1.833%.
– Maintain the Singapore Banking Sector at Overweight. While the trade war
affects investor sentiments in the near term, we believe the banks’
fundamentals remain intact to withstand risks and deliver growth on a
sustained basis.
