✨Tuesday — Singapore Stocks
Singapore stocks opened higher on Tuesday. STI up 0.8%; Nio, UOB, Singtel and Seatrium up 1%; SingPost down 1%.
Singapore Airlines (SIA) : Its low-cost arm Scoot posted a 17.4 per cent year-on-year increase in passenger traffic for February, of three billion revenue passenger-kilometres. This came as SIA Group recorded a passenger traffic of 12.3 billion revenue passenger-km for its two carriers over the month, a 3.8 per cent increase from the year-ago period, according to its latest operating results released on Monday. SIA shares closed flat at S$6.54 before the news.
Singtel : The local telco’s mobile services were restored after a mobile outage on Monday which lasted eight hours. The cause of the disruption is unknown, though Singtel noted that it was not a cyberattack. The counter ended 1.6 per cent or S$0.08 higher at S$5.04 on Monday.
Yangzijiang Shipbuilding : The UK High Court has dismissed an appeal by claimants who sought US$832.2 million from three of the group’s wholly owned subsidiaries. This is in relation to a 2022 case involving the alleged breach of contract on 10 shipbuilding agreements with a combined value of US$900 million. The claimants’ application for permission to appeal further was also dismissed by the court, said the mainboard-listed company on Monday. The counter ended 1.3 per cent or S$0.05 lower at S$3.93 before the news.

But this pattern has played itself out for a couple of weeks now, start trending upwards on any news that sounds good, then reality sets in that things don't end because talk is cheap, and oil is still becoming more expensive. The market then accepts the cold hard truth and takes the ritualistic dive down...
So I will wait and see.
The "Burry" Factor: It is currently one of Michael Burry’s largest holdings; he is betting on a massive valuation gap closing.
Shareholder Yield: Alibaba is aggressively buying back shares (billions of dollars per quarter), which creates a "floor" for the stock price.
Institutional Magnet: As Middle Eastern funds (like Saudi’s PIF) look for "Blue Chip" China exposure, Ali is the most liquid and obvious entry point.
Cloud & AI: Their cloud division is finally seeing a turnaround, shifting from a pure e-commerce play to an AI infrastructure play.
Interest Rate Lag: Even with talks of Fed cuts, mortgage rates and financing costs in HK remain high, squeezing margins.
Structural Oversupply: High vacancy rates in office towers and a slow recovery in residential prices make this a "dead money" play for now.
Capital Rotation: Big money is currently rotating out of old-school HK land lords and into high-dividend SOEs (State-Owned Enterprises) or tech giants.
Lacking Catalysts: Unlike tech, these stocks don't have "AI" or "Global Expansion" narratives to drive a sudden surge in valuation.
