2020 Quarter 1 Market Outlook - Equity, Fixed Income and Global Sukuk

Equity by Patrick Chang

We continue to see pockets of opportunities in the equity market for the first half of 2020. This is on the back of supportive central banks policies, stabilising earnings estimate, and some progressive outcomes coming from the US and China trade tension. Equity markets which underperformed in 2019 may now set to improve in 2020.

Fixed Income by Jesse Liew
