The waiting game is over, but the confusion has just begun.
On December 10, the Federal Reserve cut rates by 25 basis points. On the surface, this is exactly what the market wanted. The Straits Times Index (STI) responded with a respectable 1.45% gain this week, closing at 4,586.45. We are sitting on year-to-date returns of over 5%, and if you zoom out to December 2024, we are up over 23%.
