01/03/24 - Money in the Market: Swift & Stocks - Does it make a good Love Story?
"I promise that you'll never find another like me." Yes, we’re never going find another like you, Taylor.  Taylor Swift is here in Singapore for her Eras Tour - the starting point for unprecedented levels of economic impact, particularly within sectors across not only the United States, but every country she’s hosted her concerts in.  So of course our hospitality, tourism, and transport sectors are all in for the cheer.  While we know all about "Swiftonomics" - the phenomenon that refers to the impact the pop star has on the economy - does she have an effect on the stock market?  Will she have an effect on our Straits Times Index, or will our local stock market largely shake it off? On Money in the Market, Hongbin Jeong speaks to Too Juncheong, Equity Dealer, Moomoo Singapore, to find out what key stocks investors should be looking out for that may ride the Taylor Swift effect.
