Singapore could enter technical recession, trade ministry official says
SINGAPORE, May 22 (Reuters) - Singapore could enter a technical recession, marked by two quarters of contraction, but the economy may not necessarily suffer a full-blown recession, Beh Swan Gin, Permanent Secretary at the Trade Ministry, said on Thursday after the release of GDP data.
Edward Robinson, Deputy Managing Director at the Monetary Authority of Singapore, said current policy settings remained appropriate.
The MAS eased policy at reviews in January and April.

Indonesia expects to conclude free trade talks with EU by end of June
JAKARTA, June 7 (Reuters) - Indonesia said on Saturday that free trade negotiations with the European Union, which have been going on for nine years, are expected to finish by the end of June. Airlangga Hartarto, the chief economic minister for Southeast Asia's biggest economy, met with EU Commissioner for Trade Maros Sefcovic in Brussels on Friday. "Indonesia and the European Union have agreed to conclude outstanding issues and we are ready to announce a conclusion of substantial negotiations by the end of June 2025," Airlangga Hartarto said in a statement. He did not disclose details about what agreements may have been reached. Representatives for the EU in Jakarta did not respond to a request for comment. The EU is Indonesia's fifth biggest trade partner, with total trade between the two reaching $30.1 billion last year. Indonesia had a $4.5 billion trade surplus, Airlangga said. Indonesia and the EU have previously disagreed on the EU's trade rules for products with potential links to deforestation which could affect Indonesian palm oil, as well as Jakarta's ban on exports of raw minerals. Indonesian officials have been motivated to accelerate talks on free trade agreements, keen to diversify the country's export destinations as they deal with U.S. tariff challenges. Seeking to end U.S. trade deficits worldwide, U.S. President Donald Trump announced sweeping "reciprocal" tariffs that have since been paused until July. Indonesia is facing a 32% tariff rate.

China's forex reserves up $3.6 billion in May, less than expected
BEIJING, June 7 (Reuters) - China's foreign exchange reserves rose by a less-than-expected $3.6 billion in May, official data showed on Saturday, as the dollar continued to weaken against other major currencies. The country's foreign exchange reserves, the world's largest, rose 0.11% to $3.285 trillion last month, below the Reuters forecast of $3.292 trillion. They were $3.282 trillion in April. The increase in reserves was due to "the combined effects of factors such as exchange rate conversion and asset price changes," China's State Administration of Foreign Exchange said in a statement. The yuan weakened 1.05% against the dollar in May, while the dollar slid 0.23% against a basket of other major currencies .

Donald Trump calls for jumbo rate cut in row with Fed
Donald Trump yesterday launched a fresh attack on the US Federal Reserve as he demanded a full percentage point interest rate cut. The President's latest assault on rate setters came amid the latest evidence that the jobs market is cooling. In a post on his social media platform Truth Social, Trump urged Fed chairman Jerome Powell to act to stimulate the economy. He wrote: 'Go for a full point, Rocket Fuel!' Trump has previously had to row back on suggestions that he might sack Powell after markets bridled at the threat to the Fed's independence. But he has continued to fire pot shots at the Fed chief, branding him 'Too Late' over his reluctance to cut rates. And after a previous 24 hours dominated by Trump's row with Elon Musk, the president turned his ire back to Powell yesterday. Repeating the 'Too Late' jibe, he added: 'He is costing our country a fortune. Borrowing costs should be MUCH LOWER!!!' His call for a full point is certain to receive short shrift from the Fed. The central banks typically reserve such large moves for times of crisis. And the Fed has been particularly cautious over recent months as it waits to judge the impact of the US President's chaotic policies. The remarks came after official figures pointed to subdued job creation in the world's biggest economy as the President's trade war take its toll. So-called non-farm payrolls – a key measure of employment – rose by just 139,000 last month. That was down from 147,000 in April. Unemployment remained at 4.2 per cent. Meanwhile, revisions to previous figures shaved 95,000 from March and April payrolls. But the headline jobs figure was better than expected, helping New York stock markets rally. The S&P 500 hit the 6,000-mark for the first time since February and the Dow Jones and the tech-heavy Nasdaq each climbed by more than 1 per cent. 'This is a sigh of relief report,' said Scott Ladner, chief investment officer at Horizon Investments. 'People were really worried that this was going to be a kind of start of a downturn in the labour market and therefore start the downturn in the economy. We've got a sort-of bit of a reprieve.' Janet Mui, head of market analysis at wealth manager RBC Brewin Dolphin said: 'The US jobs report data for May suggests the economy is holding up and far from recessionary. 'Overall, the sticky wage growth figures and stable job market reinforces a 'wait-and-see' mode for Federal Reserve officials.'
