Singapore REITs in general is slightly over value now. Distribution yield for some Singapore REITs with bigger market capitalization is not very attractive. However, there are still opportunities in Singapore REITs with smaller market capitalization. Opportunities present in Hospitality sector as the valuation and yield is attractive but future DPU growth does not have good visibility.
Technically Singapore REITs sector is in bullish territory and on uptrend but facing immediate declining trend line resistance. Unlikely to see further upside in Singapore REIT sector due to the imminent potential interest hike end of the year after US Presidential Election.
