Singapore REITs in general is under value due the recent sell off after Donald Trump won the the US Presidential Election, and the market is anticipate a 80% probability of rate hike in Dec 2016. Distribution yield for some Singapore REITs with bigger market capitalization has become a little bit more attractive again. Should there be any knee jerk reaction if Janet Yellen announces the rate hike next week, it is a good opportunities to pick up some fundamental strong REIT.
Technically Singapore REITs sector is in bearish territory after breaking down the 200D SMA support. We need to wait for the Singapore REIT Index to find the support after FOMC meeting next week to plan the entry. Happy hunting but don’t hunt the wrong one!
