Usually February is one of the worst month. Especially the amount of shorts pile up in the tech area.
Trade with care. Come back in march or April.

To all Risk Takers,

Happy Lunar New Year. The Year of the Horse represents momentum, resilience, and purposeful acceleration?qualities increasingly reflected in global capital allocation toward energy security, critical materials, nuclear innovation, and enabling technologies such as AI.
As the global economy adapts to structural shifts in supply chains, demographics, and long-term energy demand, these sectors are transitioning from cyclical opportunities into core, long-duration investment themes.
Looking ahead, we expect markets to deliver approximately a 15% gain on a broad basis, supported by capital rotation, improving earnings visibility, and easing financial conditions. One important macro driver underpinning this outlook is the expectation that a new Federal Reserve Chairman is likely to adopt a more accommodative policy stance, bringing interest rates down further as inflation moderates and growth normalization becomes a priority. Lower rates tend to improve liquidity, support valuation expansion, and reduce financing costs?conditions that historically favor small- and mid-capitalization companies, particularly those positioned for structural growth. As a result, we expect small and mid caps to be relatively favored in the coming cycle.
This is a special year that may still include periods of volatility and recalibration. Such market adjustments should be viewed as constructive, allowing capital to be redeployed more efficiently and reinforcing discipline in portfolio construction. Assets defined by scarcity, strategic relevance, and durable demand?including rare earths, strategic metals, uranium, and next-generation nuclear technologies?remain well positioned to benefit from long-term structural tailwinds tied to energy security and industrial resilience.
At the same time, artificial intelligence is not replacing jobs, but enabling the workforce. Across energy, materials, logistics, and financial systems, AI is enhancing productivity by expanding access to knowledge, improving decision-making, and elevating human capabilities. When deployed responsibly, AI acts as a force multiplier?strengthening both institutions and individuals.
Operating in this environment requires balance, neutrality, and adaptability. Singapore, as a trusted global financial, commodities, and technology hub, continues to provide a stable and credible platform where capital, talent, and innovation can converge without geopolitical bias. This neutrality reinforces ASEAN?s growing role in facilitating long-term investment aligned with global growth and energy-security priorities.
Forward-Looking Risk Disclosure.
While our outlook remains constructive, investors should be mindful that forward-looking expectations are subject to a range of risks and uncertainties. These include, but are not limited to, changes in monetary policy, macroeconomic slowdowns, policy and regulatory developments, interest-rate volatility, commodity price fluctuations, project execution risks, technological adoption timelines, and unforeseen market disruptions. Actual outcomes may differ materially from expectations, and no assurance can be given that projected returns or market conditions will be realized. Investors are encouraged to assess risks holistically and maintain appropriate diversification and time horizons when evaluating investment decisions.
The 赤 兔 马 (Red Hare Horse) serves as a fitting metaphor for the year ahead. While the journey may include brief pauses and adjustments, the broader trajectory remains constructive. With discipline, selectivity, and a long-term perspective, these periods of consolidation can set the stage for renewed momentum?supporting sustainable value creation and, over time, the potential for new record highs.
