However, top watch and luxury goods market Hong Kong remains unstable in its position in the global watch industry. According to the Federation of the Swiss Watch Industry, Swiss watch exports to Hong Kong continue to be in decline. In July 2016, the US displaced Hong Kong as the world’s top market of Swiss Watches, as effects of the factors plaguing Hong Kong’s watch industry are starting to come into play.

Equity Bottom-Up

We see stronger-than-ever signs of bottoming out for Genting Singapore in VIP rolling chip volume, mass and slot gaming revenue. We expect to see impact of cost saving measures implemented in the second quarter and bad debt provision reduction to come through in the next few quarters, which will lift the margins.
