I think Singapore’s decision to avoid retaliatory tariffs is wise. Given the risk of escalating trade tensions, retaliatory tariffs could hurt both the US and Singapore’s economy. Strengthening partnerships with like-minded countries and focusing on diplomacy seems like a more strategic, long-term solution to avoid further instability.
If I were in charge, I’d focus on collaboration and economic diversification rather than retaliation. Tariffs often end up hurting domestic industries and raising costs, which impacts consumers and businesses. By investing in resilience, innovation, and expanding trade ties, Singapore could better weather the impact of tariffs.
The STI $Straits Times Index(STI.SI)$ could see short-term pressure, but the government's supportive measures may help stabilize things. REITs and banks might experience mixed results, but if stability returns, these sectors could recover over time.
