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?    Find out more in this Trading Matters podcast.   Join our ecosystem and get more exclusive market insights at www.iocbc.com/tradingmatters   Disclaimer: Contents of this podcast are intended for general information only and should not be construed as a recommendation or solicitation to invest in any financial product.
