CMT Association Singapore Community Member Meet – April 29th
Singapore’s markets have remained resilient amid a complex global environment—marked by persistent inflationary pressures, shifting central bank stances, and deepening trade tensions. In a bold and widely discussed address, Prime Minister Lawrence Wong emphasized the need for Singapore to adapt to a world of “de-risking” and global fragmentation, challenging investment professionals to evolve their strategies to remain globally competitive.
This evolving landscape raises a key question: How can Technical Analysis help professionals navigate risk across asset classes and remain disciplined amid growing uncertainty?
Join the CMT Association’s Singapore community for an in-person event that explores these themes with expert insights from leading practitioners.
