Betting on local assets could pay off for Singapore investors: Deutsche Bank Private Bank CIO
[SINGAPORE] Investors in Singapore may want to allocate more funds to local assets, which appear resilient amid global economic uncertainty, said Deutsche Bank Private Bank global chief investment officer Christian Nolting on Friday (Jun 27). 'I think economically, (Singapore) is very nicely positioned', he said at a media briefing on the private bank's outlook for major economies and the various asset classes, as well as its recommended strategies for investors. Deutsche Bank's Singapore clients tend to hold 'very well diversified' portfolios with assets spread across global markets, but have limited investments locally, he noted. Although diversification is generally a positive strategy, investors in Singapore could consider increasing their allocation to domestic assets, he added. Singapore is less affected by US tariffs than other countries, facing only the baseline 10 per cent rate. This is 'very important' for a highly export-oriented economy, he said. He noted promising prospects for Singapore's real estate and stock markets. BT in your inbox Start and end each day with the latest news stories and analyses delivered straight to your inbox. Sign Up Sign Up Jason Liu, head of the CIO Office at Deutsche Bank Private Bank, described Singapore bank equities as 'very safe' assets in the current climate of global uncertainty, in that they offer a 'very good' dividend yield of over 5 percent. 'We have seen a lot of (capital) inflows since the beginning of the year,' he added. US dollar softens, equities may hold up Since the start of the year, there has been a considerable outflow of capital from the US – but this does not necessarily mean US assets will lose attractiveness, said Nolting. Given the euro's strengthening against the dollar, and turbulence in the yield of European treasuries, it is clear that there has been a flow of capital from the US into Europe, he said. A 'small amount of capital' is also moving to Asia, said Liu, noting the year-to-date appreciation of the Singapore dollar, Taiwan dollar and the Japanese yen relative to the US dollar. Nolting expects the capital outflow to continue, so the greenback could weaken a bit further over the next 12 months – but not collapse. 'I don't think there's a currency – at this point in time – which would replace the dollar,' he said. Furthermore, the expected weakness of the US dollar does not mean that other US assets will become less attractive, he added. The US continues to achieve stronger productivity growth than Europe, supporting its long-term investment appeal. The sheer size of the US market also allows it to absorb outflows while still delivering solid performance, he said. 'Even with some money flowing out, you can still have a nice performance, because it's so much larger.' To illustrate the disparity, Nolting noted that the total market capitalisation of Germany's DAX 40 blue-chip index is smaller than that of a single US tech giant such as Apple.

Expect More Volatility in Equity and Bond Markets, Deutsche Bank Says
Deutsche Bank Global CIO Christian Nolting says he advises clients to expect further volatility in the equity and bond markets. He adds that there are opportunities to buy stocks if the S&P 500 index is below 5,000 levels. "We will buy the dip in the market if it is closer to recessionary levels," Nolting tells Bloomberg Television. There is 'still some potential growth rate in the US and that's something which is still interesting for investors,' he notes. (Source: Bloomberg)

Ohio researcher explains how bird flu spreads among flocks
DAYTON, Ohio (WDTN) — With emergencies declared for bird flu in Mercer and Darke counties, 2 NEWS is digging deeper into how the virus spreads. With bird flu hitting 1st Ohioan, what are the symptoms and how is it treated? Avian Influenza has been detected at more than 60 poultry farms in the Miami Valley. While the risk to humans remains low, staying informed can't hurt. A researcher at The Ohio State University recently took part in a CDC study of the virus and took the time to break it down to us. 'Wild bird's influenza is spread through a fecal, oral route and so birds it is in their digestive tracts and its shed in their feces. And then other birds like in the environment or in the water — when they're eating they are picking up the virus through that way, through their mouths,' said Jacqueline Nolting, an assistant professor and animal health and biosecurity extension specialist at the College of Veterinary Medicine. Poultry Days announce 2025 festival dates Nolting and her team provided logistic support, gathered samples and assisted the CDC in getting those samples down to Atlanta, Georgia. Health officials are continuing to monitor the spread of the virus. Residents are urged to report any sightings of sick birds to the Ohio Department of Agriculture. On their website, there is also a tracker for Avian Influenza cases among flocks in Ohio. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.

Ohio State researcher takes part in CDC bird flu study
COLUMBUS, Ohio (WCMH) — A day after the first human case of the bird flu had been reported in Ohio, a new study from the CDC has been released on the topic, suggesting that some people didn't even know they had a bird flu infection. Helping with the research is a professor from the Ohio State University College of Veterinary Medicine. The study suggests bird flu cases are undercounted. The OSU researcher said that's not necessarily a reason to be alarmed. State medical board of Ohio investigating former Adena Health doctor 'So, bird flu is influenza viruses that are in avian species and so the one that we are monitoring, that we're seeing a lot of outbreaks is a specific strain of influenza viruses,' Jacqueline Nolting, an assistant professor and animal health and biosecurity extension specialist at the College of Veterinary Medicine, said. The strain – H5N1 — affects poultry, dairy cows and wild birds. 'The most, you know, risk is for people who are working with animals that are infected,' Nolting said. Nolting was one of the researchers who helped the CDC with its latest study. According to the CDC, more than 60 confirmed human cases of the bird flu in the U.S. have been reported with one fatality. 'It's probably, you know, a tip of the iceberg as indicated by some of those antibody studies,' Nolting said. Drug treatment center accepts mothers and their children She said it's likely that more people have been exposed and infected, but didn't get sick, which she said is good news. Right now, the main concern is the number of spillovers we're seeing. 'Within the last 30 days, I think it was USDA reported 56 premises in Ohio that have been confirmed, poultry premises and so having those continued spillovers from wild birds is definitely a concern,' Nolting said. 'The number of farms and the number of poultry that are being affected by this virus is definitely of concern.' Nolting said that for the general public, it's really unlikely they'd be exposed to the virus. She also said that as of right now, there is no indication that this virus can spread from human to human. 'People that maybe, like, hunt birds or are, you know, wildlife biologists, for instance, if they're coming across to sick or dead birds in the general public as well, like you see a dead Canada goose, don't go touch it, you know, don't let your kids touch it,' she said. Nolting said the most common symptom of bird flu is conjunctivitis. In addition to that, people may experience typical influenza signs. Ohio foodbanks face funding cuts in proposed state budget 'We would be looking for, you know, runny nose, coughing, body aches, fever, things like that,' she said. Anyone who tested positive would likely be started on Tamiflu treatment and it's recommended they try to rest and quarantine themselves. Nolting said that despite the bird flu hitting Ohio hard, poultry products are still safe to consume. Just make sure to clean up your workspace, wash your hands after touching raw meat and cook the food at the appropriate temperatures. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.
