Tariffs have become a hot topic in financial reporting for 2025. Although they initially caused market volatility, the market quickly recovered. Analysts believe that the negative impact of tariffs will gradually become apparent in 2026, potentially putting pressure on the Singapore economy. The Singapore market has performed well, with the Straits Times Index rebounding 35% since its low in April. However, manufacturing and trade growth may slow in 2026, with GDP growth expected to drop to 2.1%. Free trade agreements will help mitigate some of the impacts

U.S. November inflation data came in lower than expected, with the CPI rising 2.7% year-on-year and the core CPI rising 2.6% year-on-year, both below market expectations.
