Singapore, Hong Kong investors positive on Trump outlook



Hong Kong investors view Donald Trump’s election as beneficial for the global economy despite potential US-China tensions, a survey by MDRi revealed. Seventy percent of respondents expressed optimism about Trump’s presidency, compared to Kamala Harris, though concerns about local economic growth remain. The survey, involving 500 Hong Kong-based investors, found 58% currently invest locally, with 19% in the US market. Following Trump’s election, 24% plan to increase US investments, citing optimism about global economic prospects. Meanwhile, Hong Kong’s Hang Seng Index dropped 6.3% last week, reflecting disappointment over Beijing's debt resolution measures and looming tariff risks. In Singapore, sentiment was more cautious, with 46% fearing negative US-China impacts. However, Singaporean investors also showed growing interest in the US market, with exposure projected to rise to 22%.
