Markets Update

Seems like global markets are weak for this week and last week. It would probably be weak till the situation becomes clearer after the Fed meeting on 31 Oct. There's a high possibility that Fed would not cut rate so fast prompting a further drop in market indices in the world. Currently, I expect most investors to cut their holdings or adopt a wait and see approach.

For those planning to buy in funds or increase their holdings, I would suggest to hold your horses and wait for the uncertainty to clear up first as fund prices are different from stocks in that they appreciate or depreciate gradually compared to stock prices, thus, even if you would not get the price at rock bottom price, you will still manage to ride the upward wave up.
