Bloomberg Daybreak Asia: Cautious Open for APAC Markets; South Korea Election
Asian shares were off to a tepid start at the open Tuesday after a rebound in big tech drove US stocks higher. Bonds fell as the dollar hit its lowest since 2023. Wall Street kept a close eye on the latest twists in the trade war, with the US extending the exclusion of Section 301 tariffs on some Chinese goods until Aug. 31, according to a notice issued by the US Customs and Border Protection. Trump and Xi Jinping will "likely" speak this week, according to the White House. We talk markets with Adam Coons, Chief Investment Officer at Winthrop Capital Management. Plus - South Koreans head to the polls Tuesday to elect a new president to lead the nation after an attempt to impose martial law at the end of last year triggered its worst constitutional crisis in decades. Opposition Democratic Party nominee Lee Jae-myung was the frontrunner ahead of conservative ruling People Power Party candidate Kim Moon-soo in final polls conducted last week. A third contender, Lee Jun-seok, a former PPP leader now running for the Reform Party, was splitting the conservative vote. The winner will face the challenges of trying to unite a deeply fractured country and restore growth to a shrinking economy that is among the most vulnerable in the world to US President Donald Trump's trade tariffs. For more, we hear from M. Jae Moon, Professor of Public Policy and Management at Yonsei University. He speaks with Bloomberg's Shery Ahn in Seoul.

Longbridge now supports US fractional shares trading - own US stocks for just USD 1*
SINGAPORE, May 19, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Longbridge Securities Singapore ("Longbridge Singapore") announced the launch of US fractional shares trading service. Investors can now build positions in US stocks like Apple and Tesla with investments as low as USD 1, significantly lowering the barrier to entry while enabling more flexible portfolio strategies. Fractional shares trading: making investing accessible Traditional stock markets have long imposed whole-share trading requirements, where purchasing a single share of high-priced stocks often requires hundreds or even thousands of dollars, raising the entry threshold for investors with limited capital. US fractional shares trading breaks through these limitations by allowing investors to buy stocks by dollar amount or fractional shares. For long-term investors, fractional trading provides more flexible asset allocation strategies, enabling them to adjust their portfolios without being constrained by stock prices or whole-share trading rules. Furthermore, fractional shares trading helps investors better manage market fluctuations. Investors can build positions gradually based on their risk tolerance and market conditions, making smarter use of their capital. As investing becomes increasingly accessible worldwide, fractional shares provide beginners with an easy entry point into the US market, while allowing experienced investors to fine-tune their strategies with greater precision - further enhancing capital flexibility. Invest in US stocks for as low as USD 1 with Longbridge Longbridge's US fractional shares trading service, offered by Longbridge Singapore, covers a wide range of popular US stocks. Investors can easily explore eligible stocks through the "Classification" section under the "Market" tab in the Longbridge App, or identify supported stocks by looking for the "fractional shares" icon on the stock detail page. The Longbridge App offers two flexible order placement options: investors can either specify the fractional share quantity or input the dollar amount they wish to invest. The system automatically calculates the corresponding number of shares based on the current market price, making it easy to align investments with individual budgets. To further enhance value, all US fractional share trades on Longbridge are commission-free, helping investors reduce costs and maximize potential returns. For seamless execution, fractional share trading is available exclusively during regular US market hours. A Longbridge spokesperson stated, "We believe fractional shares trading lowers the entry barrier to the US stock market and enables more precise asset allocation.
