Hello everyone,

As we cross the halfway mark of 2026, it is a good moment to pause and review. The first half has been one of selective strength, AI and technology names have led the charge, delivering earnings that have largely justified the optimism built into their valuations, while rate cut expectations remain a slow-moving story with the Federal Reserve staying measured and data-dependent.

Heading into the H2 2026 the question is not whether opportunities exist, but whether you are positioned to capture them. In this month's newsletter, we break down where momentum is building and how to stay on the right side of the trend.

Your No.1 Fan,

Market Overview

Singapore

Straits Times Index (TradingView)

Straits Times Index (STI) is a market capitalisation weighted index that tracks the performance of the top 30 companies listed on SGX.

Singapore's economy continues to demonstrate resilience as we head into July, with Q1 2026 GDP growth coming in at a robust 6.0% year-on-year, exceeding flash estimates of 4.6% and marking the strongest growth since Q3 2024. Growth was supported by a pick-up in construction output and a faster-expanding services sector, led by wholesale and retail trade, accommodation, and finance and insurance, while manufacturing stayed resilient despite slower momentum.

The full-year 2026 GDP growth forecast remains at 2.0–4.0%, with MTI flagging geopolitical developments as the key downside risk to monitor.

Inflation remains contained within the 1–2% range, allowing MAS to hold its current policy stance steady, while domestic consumption and services activity continue to provide a stable underpinning for growth as we head deeper into the second half of the year.

STI uptrend remains strong with all 3 moving averages (MAs) still heading up, with a fresh 1GT Bullish signal appeared in mid-June.

During the last 2 weeks of June, the index looks to be consolidating sideways in the short-term between the range of 5,150 - 5,250.

As long as the index is able to hold firmly above this lower bound support if 5,150, would not rule out more strength towards the next psychological resistance around 5,300.

Dow Jones Industrial Average (TradingView)

Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA) tracks the daily price movements of 30 large, public-owned blue-chip American companies.

The Dow Jones Industrial Average pushed past the 52,000 level continuing its momentum, heading toward the 53,000 resistance where consolidation could take place along side the 3 moving averages continuing to slope upwards and 2 1GT Bullish signals continuing to play out.

S&P 500 (TradingView)

S&P 500 Index is a market-capitalization weighted index of the 500 leading companies in the US which is widely considered as one of the best gauge of the US economy.

The S&P500 continues to consolidate within the range of 7,250 upwards toward the 7,600 resistance, where near term weakness can be observed after prices failed to break above the resistance. However, longer term moving averages continues to slope upwards.

Higher Target could be placed around the 8,000 psychological level if the resistance gives way, where a new 1GT Bullish signal will also show up, and momentum could once again pick up for the index.

US markets are heading into July with mixed signals keeping investors cautious. During June's meeting under new Chair Kevin Walsh, the Fed funds rates are held steady at 3.50%–3.75% for the fourth consecutive meeting. The Fed removed prior language indicating a bias toward future cuts, and the updated dot plot erased any indication of a cut this year, pushing any potential reductions into 2027 and beyond, as policymakers weigh persistent inflation pressures brought on in part by the ongoing Middle East conflict.

The era of easy monetary policy tailwinds is firmly behind us, and the focus now squarely shifts to earnings quality and balance sheet resilience as the key differentiators heading into the second half of the year.
