Trading Matters by OCBC Securities

In this episode 45 of Trading Matters by OCBC Securities, we have Aaron Chwee, Head of Wealth Advisory, OCBC Bank, Samuel Wong, Trading Strategist, OCBC Securities, and Elliott Danker, Senior Producer Presenter, MoneyFM 89.3 dive into topics surrounding the US debt ceiling and the layover effects of the US debt ceiling on market uncertainty, trading flows and financial markets around the world.

With the longstanding history of the US debt ceiling and the default date fast approaching, global markets await the outcome of whether the US federal debt ceiling will be increased. Coupled with the high interest rate environment, the ongoing discussions between the White House and Congress relay market uncertainties that may affect investor confidence on top of other implications. The uncertain nature constructs a market of volatility, and this poses the question of how financial markets can navigate through these waters. How can investors mitigate the risks and position themselves strategically?

In such times of uncertainties, it is believed that precious metal like Gold is a good hedge against inflation. On top of inflationary and recessionary concerns, what can we expect from the US first quarter corporate reporting season of 2023 given the market volatility that we are already seeing?
