Singapore stocks fall as Trump tariffs resumes for now; STI retreats 0.6%
The STI was led by DFI Retail Group, which rose 3 per cent to US$2.76. PHOTO: ST FILE Singapore stocks fall as Trump tariffs resumes for now; STI retreats 0.6% SINGAPORE – The Trump tariff roller-coaster took another swing through markets on May 30 and helped depress shares across the region. The latest twist in the seemingly never-ending saga came when a US appeals court paused a ruling that blocked President Donald Trump's sweeping tariffs, and in turn stopped Thursday's rally dead in its tracks. That left the benchmark Straits Times Index (STI) down 0.6 per cent or 22.23 points to 3,894.6 with losers beating gainers 248 to 209 on trade of 1.3 billion securities worth $3.3 billion. Ms Ipek Ozkardeskaya, analyst at Swissquote Bank, said the optimism triggered by the initial ruling that halted the 'Liberation Day' tariffs 'turned out too good to be true' as it is now effectively on hold. 'If tariffs are ultimately found to be unlawful, the willingness of partners to make concessions during trade talks may shrink – not exactly ideal, especially given the critical window for negotiations,' she added. Regional indexes reacted negatively. Hong Kong's Hang Seng lost 1.2 per cent, South Korea's Kospi fell 0.8 per cent, the Nikkei 225 in Tokyo declined 1.2 per cent and Malaysian shares slipped 0.7 per cent. By contrast, Wall Street shrugged off the tariff news overnight and focused more on tech stocks after Nvidia posted robust earnings. The Nasdaq and S&P 500 both rose 0.4 per cent while the Dow Industrials added 0.3 per cent. Meanwhile, the STI was led by DFI Retail Group, which rose 3 per cent to US$2.76. After the market closed, the group said it will divest a 22.2 per cent stake in Robinsons Retail. DFI parent company Jardine Matheson did not fare so well, falling 2.4 per cent to US$44.50, after announcing that chief executive John Witt is retiring at the end of November. The local banks were in the red: DBS fell 0.6 per cent to $44.72; UOB declined 1.2 per cent to $35.41; and OCBC retreated 1 per cent to $16.23.

My husband cheated and I only found out because he gave me an STI
A woman who only found out her husband was cheating because he gave her an STI has opened up about how the shocking discovery tore her world apart. The woman, who will be referred to as the pseudonym Olivia throughout the story as she asked to remain anonymous, explained exclusively to that she met her husband online during the COVID-19 lockdown in 2020. They hit it off immediately and bonded over late night calls and hours of messaging. They eventually bought a place together in Philadelphia and went on to tie the knot and welcome their two children in quick succession. But their marriage was completely shattered after Olivia discovered that her husband had been unfaithful to her... only after she developed a nasty sexually transmitted infection. She told that she first developed symptoms about two weeks ago, but initially thought it was a UTI. 'I remember I started noticing this greenish discharge coming from me and it had a foul smell,' she explained. 'I thought it was a UTI because I normally get those all the time so I just shrugged it off.' She mentioned it to her husband, who went and got some UTI medicine for her. 'At this time he knew slept with that girl and been keeping it a secret. He knew he had the STI and wasn't going to say anything,' Olivia scathed. Despite taking the medicine, Olivia said her symptoms weren't going away, in fact, they were getting worse. 'Then it starts getting super irritated and itchy, that's when I knew something was off,' she continued. 'Something kept telling me maybe he's not being faithful to you. But I thought it was just my anxiety because I would've never thought he would sleep with someone else.' But as time went on Olivia's suspicions grew, so she decided to confront her husband. She recalled, 'I was like, "I think you've been unfaithful." And he was like, "I don't know what's you're talking about I didn't do anything." 'I'm like, "You gave me something I know you did,' but he kept denying it."' While she let it go in the moment, Olivia was still unconvinced, so a few days later, she asked if she could use his phone for something. She then 'went snooping,' and found shocking messages between him and another woman that confirmed her suspicions. Rather than asking him about them, she gave him the cold shoulder and he eventually confessed to everything. Her husband then revealed that he was sleeping with one of his exes and had caught the STI trichomoniasis from the woman and spread it to Olivia. 'A week later he confessed he said it was eating him up that he was keeping something like this from me,' she revealed. 'My heart shattered. Everything stood still that day it felt like it was a fever dream. 'I couldn't believe my ears. I thought it was a joke - I wanted him to be joking so bad but he wasn't. 'I felt so disgusted with myself I just wanted to vomit, I felt violated in the worst way possible.' She said she 'cried' and 'screamed' at her husband and recalled being 'filled with rage.' 'If it wasn't for the STI I probably would've never known he cheated on me,' she added. 'I hate that it took a STI to show me that he cheated because I'm still suffering from it still even though I got treatment. I just don't want nothing to do with him anymore.' Olivia has now decided to leave her husband, and is now preparing to be a single mom to their two kids. 'I know it'll hurt to leave him but in order for me to be at peace with myself and not think about the cheating and all the stress it put me through I'd rather be a single mom,' she concluded. 'At least I don't have to worry about catching anything else.'

Singapore stocks rise after US court blocks Trump's tariffs; STI up 0.1%
Investors here were not overly fired up by the ruling but still nudged the benchmark Straits Times Index ahead 0.1 per cent. ST PHOTO: BRIAN TEO SINGAPORE – The move by a US court to block President Donald Trump's 'Liberation Day' tariffs gave regional shares a welcome lift on May 29. Investors here were not overly fired up by the ruling but still nudged the benchmark Straits Times Index (STI) ahead 0.1 per cent or 4.92 points to 3,916.84 but gainers thumped losers 309 to 170 on solid trade of 1.2 billion securities worth $1.3 billion. The STI's top gainer was the Singapore Exchange, which rose 2.3 per cent to $14.30, while casino operator Genting Singapore was the biggest decliner, down 1.4 per cent to 69 cents. It was also the most active, with 64.3 million units traded. The court ruling was released too late for Wall Street and the three major indexes slipped back a day after big gains in the previous session. Traders there were rattled by minutes from the Federal Reserve's last rate meeting indicating concerns that the hefty tariff hikes would elevate prices and risk stoking higher inflation. The Dow Industrials and S&P 500 both lost 0.6 per cent while the Nasdaq fell 0.5 per cent. Markets across the region had better timing and rose on news that the trade court ruled that the President Trump overstepped his authority by imposing across-the-board duties. The ruling also casts doubts on recent agreements with Britain and China. South Korea's Kospi and Japan's Nikkei 225 were both up 1.9 per cent and Australia's ASX 200 gained 0.2 per cent. Mr David Chao, global market strategist for Asia Pacific at investment management company Invesco, said the US court ruling on tariffs will result in a delay in trade deal announcements as countries adopt a wait-and-see approach. Against a backdrop punctuated by escalating and de-escalating tariff measures, non-US assets are 'increasingly attractive and poised for continued out-performance', added Mr Chao, noting: 'We view this as an opportunity for investors to diversify their portfolios across regions and asset classes and reduce concentrations.'

Singapore's STI, Asia markets rise after US court blocks Trump's reciprocal tariffs
[SINGAPORE] Singapore stocks rose on Thursday (May 29) morning, after a US trade court on Wednesday (May 28) blocked US President Donald Trump's 'Liberation Day' tariffs from going into effect. As at 9.12 am, the Straits Times Index (STI) opened 0.2 per cent or 7.56 points higher at 3,919.48. Across the broader market, gainers outnumbered losers 106 to 56 after 102.5 million securities worth S$161 million changed hands. On Wednesday, a US trade court had blocked US President Donald Trump's 'Liberation Day' tariffs from going into effect, ruling that the president overstepped his authority by imposing across-the-board duties on imports from nations that sell more to the United States than they buy. Among Singapore stocks, the trio of local banks were mixed at the open. DBS shed 0.7 per cent or S$0.30 to S$44.85. UOB declined 0.4 per cent or S$0.15 to S$35.80. OCBC was up 0.3 per cent or S$0.05 at S$16.38.

Australia's ASX 200 edged marginally up 0.12 per cent. US futures jumped, with Dow futures soaring more than 500 points, and futures tied to the S&P 500 rising 1.5 per cent. The Manhattan-based Court of International Trade said the US Constitution gives Congress exclusive authority to regulate commerce with other countries that is not overridden by the president's emergency powers to safeguard the US economy, according to Reuters. 'The court does not pass upon the wisdom or likely effectiveness of the president's use of tariffs as leverage. That use is impermissible not because it is unwise or ineffective, but because [federal law] does not allow it,' a three-judge panel said in the decision, according to the Reuters report.
