Commentary

All stocks trended lower in January. In a rare happening although its a bad one. To make things more puzzling, STI is positive in January with a 3.54% return. Large cap stocks like Singtel, DBS and Keppel Corp have turned in positive returns as well.

In the portfolio, UMS and IFAST have corrected over 20% in January alone. Both are relatively good gainers in 2021 hence it seems to be not a surprise. After all tech related companies are the fastest to fall when interest rate news impact the markets.

Overall, looking at how other markets have went, i would say the results are not unacceptable nor shocking. More importantly will be how the results go in February for some of the companies.
