In Apr 25, Trump’s steep tariffs triggered a drop in oil prices amid worries about oil demand and excess OPEC supply. Shipping has also been impacted; however, this may be somewhat limited as US-China trade forms just 5% of global container volumes, offset by rapidly growing intra-Asia trade. In the drilling market, deepwater rigs are still the most resilient segment. Maintain OVERWEIGHT on the sector. Top picks are STM and MPM with YZJ appearing to have very favourable risk/reward at present.

The selloff driven by the US’ unprecedented and perplexing tariff plans has liberated many investors of profits this year. Given the fluidity of market conditions, we highlight a number of domestic-focused stocks such as CENT, CD, DFI, HLA, PANU, PROP, RFMD, SSG and SIE as well as Singapore-focused REITS such as CDLHT, FEHT, FCT, KREIT, LREIT and PREIT. In addition, the MAS’ equity market review should inject much needed liquidity in 2H25. We lower our STI target to 3,720 (previously 4,115).
Driven by our small-mid cap picks, our Alpha Picks portfolio outperformed in Mar 25, increasing 3.4% mom on an equal-weighted basis and beating the STI by 1.4ppt. For 1Q25, our portfolio did not do as well as it underperformed the STI by 5.1ppt on an equal-weighted basis, due largely to the banking sector which reported strong 2024 results.

We strongly believe that the share price decline on SCI’s double whammy of negative news from Vietnam and Indonesia last week presents a buying opportunity for investors. SCI’s exposure to Vietnam renewables is only 3% of its attributable capacity and, more importantly, the cancellation of the Indonesian GSA is a non-event given that SCI can source for alternative LNG and should costs be higher, contract terms allow such costs to be passed on. Maintain BUY. Target price: S$8.00.
