The end-of-the-year rate is expected to be around 3.50-3.75%. That is 175bps lower than the current rate!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Regardless of whether or not the expectation is too aggressive, it appears that the market also expects that we have reached the end of this rate hike cycle and that rates will begin to reverse in 2024.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>No Recession?<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Almost every economist expects to see a recession anytime soon. Our yield curve is also very inverted, historically signaling an incoming recession. Yet, the above projections seem to indicate that we will only get a soft landing, meaning inflation will cool down while the economy still grows. This is the best-case scenario. But how realistic is this soft-landing expectation?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We don\u2019t know. Nobody knows with certainty. But it doesn\u2019t matter to us because we want to position ourselves to prepare for both scenarios.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>What Would We Do?<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Lower rates usually correlate with the risk-on economic environment. This means risk-on assets tend to outperform. The catch is that a recession may cause these risk-on assets to underperform in the short term. They should continue to perform well in the long run because the Fed will likely cut rates even faster should a recession arrive.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We see this potential recession as yet another opportunity to accumulate more assets at a discounted price. Whether or not a recession arrives, we should prepare and position ourselves accordingly.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To protect the potential downside from a recession, we entered into a \u2018bond price\u2019 trade as covered <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.wealthfor.us\/article\/how-can-we-benefit-from-interest-rate-reversal\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">here<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. Should the Fed start cutting interest rates, bond price, which has an inverse relationship with bond yield, will climb. We have accumulated TLT (US Treasury ETF) to benefit from the incoming rate cuts while protecting us from the possible economic downturn. That said, TLT has risen significantly recently and may be due for a correction. Please exercise prudence when trading or investing.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Additionally, in the past two years, we have accumulated various assets, such as stocks and REITs, to take advantage of the lower valuation of those assets.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As a reference, despite the recent rebound, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.wealthfor.us\/article\/singapore-reits\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Singapore REITs<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> are still hovering way below the levels in recent years. Should the interest rates continue to fall, REITs may continue to perform well in the long term. But as always, we are only interested in the fundamentally strong REITs that are well-equipped to weather any potential downturn or prolonged high-interest rate environment. If you prefer a more diversified exposure to the Singapore REITs sector, you may also consider investing in <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.wealthfor.us\/article\/singapore-reit-etf\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Singapore REIT ETF<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_2545\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-2545\" style=\"width: 1200px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-2545 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.wealthfor.us\/article\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/iEdge-S-REIT-Leaders-Index-SGD-Dec-2023.png\" alt=\"iEdge S-REIT Leaders Index SGD Dec 2023\" width=\"1200\" height=\"550\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.wealthfor.us\/uploads\/2023\/12\/iEdge-S-REIT-Leaders-Index-SGD-Dec-2023.png 1200w, https:\/\/cdn.wealthfor.us\/uploads\/2023\/12\/iEdge-S-REIT-Leaders-Index-SGD-Dec-2023-300x138.png 300w, https:\/\/cdn.wealthfor.us\/uploads\/2023\/12\/iEdge-S-REIT-Leaders-Index-SGD-Dec-2023-1024x469.png 1024w, https:\/\/cdn.wealthfor.us\/uploads\/2023\/12\/iEdge-S-REIT-Leaders-Index-SGD-Dec-2023-768x352.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-2545\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">iEdge S-REIT Leaders Index SGD 5 years performance chart<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What if a recession comes?
