US STOCKS FELL AS MUCH AS 2.5%! POTENTIAL SIGNAL OF RECESSION SPOTTED! WHAT SHOULD INVESTORS DO NOW?

Singapore Stocks
Dear readers, US stocks fell as much as 2.5% last Friday: with S&P 500, Dow 30 and Nasdaq falling by 1.90%, 1.77% and 2.50% respectively! Weak economic data which suggested that the global economy growth is slowing was the main factor for the plunge of US stock prices. But what should be noteworthy for investors is that the spread between three-month Treasury bills and 10-year bond yields inverted for the first time since 2007. An inverted yield curve is often seen as a potential signal of a recession!

Now as to what investors should do now? Well, like what I have been sharing on Singapore Stocks Investing blog here, global stocks have not corrected since year 2009. Thus as investors, we should always stay invested in the stocks markets with the mentality that at any point in time, the markets may catch us by surprise but at the same time, we are fully prepared to ride our investments through any corrections in the stocks markets.
