Singapore Shares Climb To New Peak Amid Global Market Rally
Financial heavyweights led the charge, with DBS Group Holdings gaining ground ahead of its upcoming earnings announcement. The banking sector, along with property and telecommunications stocks, saw broad-based buying interest as investor sentiment remained upbeat.
The bullish momentum in Singapore mirrored gains across Asian markets, which tracked the strength in US equities following better-than-expected retail sales and labour market data.
Traders interpreted the strong economic readings as signs of resilience, adding to optimism over corporate earnings both in the US and Asia.
Foreign participation in the Singapore market also remained firm, supporting large-cap stocks and lifting the STI to fresh highs. Analysts noted that the rally was underpinned by growing confidence in the region's economic outlook and hopes that upcoming earnings releases will validate the market's positive trajectory.
Despite lingering concerns over global trade tensions and inflationary pressures, market participants remained focused on fundamentals, with strong corporate guidance and macro indicators offering reassurance.
Outlook: With key earnings reports and regional economic data due in the coming weeks, investors will be watching closely to see if the market can maintain its upward momentum or if profit-taking sets in at these elevated levels. Related

Philippines' Marcos to meet Trump, hoping to secure trade deal that is favourable to both allied countries
Philippine President Ferdinand Marcos Jr will be the first South-East Asian leader to meet US President Donald Trump in his second term. -- Reuters WASHINGTON/MANILA (Reuters): Philippine President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. meets US President Donald Trump this week, hoping Manila's status as a key Asian ally will secure a more favorable trade deal before an August 1 deadline. Marcos will be the first South-East Asian leader to meet Trump in his second term. Trump has already struck trade deals with two of Manila's regional partners, Vietnam and Indonesia, driving tough bargains in trade talks even with close allies that Washington needs to keep onside in its strategic rivalry with China. "I expect our discussions to focus on security and defense, of course, but also on trade," Marcos said in a speech before leaving Manila. "We will see how much progress we can make when it comes to the negotiations with the United States concerning the changes that we would like to institute to alleviate the effects of a very severe tariff schedule on the Philippines." The United States had a deficit of nearly $5 billion with the Philippines last year on bilateral goods trade of US$23.5 billion. Trump this month raised the threatened "reciprocal" tariffs on imports from the Philippines to 20% from 17% threatened in April. Although U.S. allies in Asia such as Japan and South Korea have yet to strike trade deals with Trump, Gregory Poling, a Southeast Asia expert at Washington's Center for Strategic and International Studies, said Marcos might be able to do better than Vietnam, with its agreement of a 20% baseline tariff on its goods, and Indonesia at 19%. "I wouldn't be surprised to see an announcement of a deal with the Philippines at a lower rate than those two," Poling said. Marcos, who arrived in Washington on Sunday, is due to hold talks with Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth on Monday before meeting Trump at the White House on Tuesday. He will also meet U.S. business leaders investing in the Philippines during his trip. 'MUTUALLY BENEFICIAL' DEAL Philippine officials say Marcos' focus will be on economic cooperation and Manila's concerns about the tariffs. They say he will stress that Manila must become economically stronger if it is to serve as a truly robust partner for the U.S. in the Indo-Pacific. Philippine Assistant Foreign Secretary Raquel Solano said last week trade officials have been working with U.S. counterparts seeking to seal a "mutually acceptable and mutually beneficial" deal for both countries. Trump and Marcos will also discuss defense and security, and Solano said the Philippine president would be looking to further strengthen the longstanding defense alliance. With the Philippines facing intense pressure from China in the contested South China Sea, Marcos has pivoted closer to the U.S., expanding its access to Philippine military bases amid China's threats towards Taiwan, the democratically governed island claimed by Beijing. The United States and the Philippines have a seven-decade-old mutual defense treaty and hold dozens of annual exercises, which have included training with U.S. Typhon missile system, and more recently with the NMESIS anti-ship missile system, angering China. Manila and the U.S. have closely aligned their views on China, Poling said, and it is notable that Rubio and Hegseth made sure their Philippine counterparts were the first Southeast Asian officials they met. Poling said Trump also seemed to have a certain warmth towards Marcos, based on their phone call after the election.

Ringgit extends gains to close higher amid Japan political uncertainty
KUALA LUMPUR: The ringgit extended its gains against the US dollar at Monday's close, as the greenback struggled to appreciate amid political uncertainties in Japan, said an analyst. At 6 pm, the ringgit rose to 4.2320/2365 against the greenback, compared to Friday's close of 4.2410/2455. SPI Asset Management managing partner Stephen Innes said the ringgit trended higher, supported by the election setback for Japan's Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba's coalition, which did not trigger broader market volatility. "The absence of contagion allowed Asian and other emerging market currencies, including the ringgit, to edge higher and strengthen modestly,' he told Bernama. Echoing Innes, Bank Muamalat Malaysia Bhd chief economist Dr Mohd Afzanizam Abdul Rashid said the ringgit traded firmer in tandem with a 0.13 per cent decline in the US Dollar Index to 98.268 points, as major currencies such as the euro, yen, and the British pound all appreciated against the greenback. "Despite uncertainties surrounding Japanese politics, the US dollar is struggling to appreciate, yet this has not resulted in a weak Japanese yen,' he said. On that note, Mohd Afzanizam said the ringgit was generally firmer against the US dollar, with the pair hovering around RM4.2375 in the afternoon, compared to RM4.2493 during the morning session. At the close, the ringgit was traded mostly higher against a basket of major currencies. It strengthened against the British pound to 5.6954/7015 from 5.6999/7060 and advanced versus the euro to 4.9277/9330 from 4.9336/9388 at Friday's close. However, it fell against the Japanese yen to 2.8612/8644 from 2.8517/8549. Meanwhile, the local note rose vis-à-vis the Singapore dollar to 3.2990/3028 from 3.3027/3065, and gained against the Thai baht to 13.0754/0954 from 13.3027/3065. Additionally, the ringgit appreciated against the Indonesian rupiah to 259.2/259.6 from 260.2/260.6 and edged up versus the Philippine peso to 7.40/7.41 from 7.41/7.43 previously. - Bernama

China stocks near 2022 high on construction, rare earth gains; Hang Seng tests 25,000
HONG KONG: China stocks closed near 3-1/2-year high on Monday, led by rare earth and construction sectors, while Hong Kong stocks rose as internet heavyweights rallied following a government rebuke on price wars. The Shanghai Composite index added 0.7% to 3,559.79, its highest closing since January 2022. China's blue-chip CSI300 index also gained 0.7%. Leading the gains onshore, the CSI Construction & Engineering Index rallied 4.3% to a seven-month high after China began construction of a $170 billion hydropower dam in Tibet. The project is macro relevant and could provide some demand support, likely easing concerns on growth and the labor market marginally, Citi analysts said in a note. Also lifting markets, the rare earth sector advanced 3.2% following a Reuters report that Beijing has quietly issued its first 2025 rare earth mining and smelting quotas. In Hong Kong, the benchmark Hang Seng Index grew 0.7% after briefly topping the 25,000 level for the first time since February 2022. Platform companies Meituan, and Alibaba rose between 1.8% and 2.7% after Beijing summoned the three and asked them to cool a bruising price war, a move dubbed by investors as an "anti-involution" campaign. Positive catalysts from anti-involution policies and strength in the tech sector have lifted sentiment, which together with a solid economic foundation have fuelled the market rally that's surprising in its timing yet reasonable, Huatai Securities said. Looking ahead, Chinese policymakers are expected to hold the July Politburo meeting in the coming days to discuss economic policies for the second half of this year. Goldman Sachs analysts said they don't expect broad-based, significant stimulus in the near term, but anticipate continued policy pledges to regulate disorderly price competition and contain the "involution". - Reuters
