      Wall Street Ends Mixed as Rate Watch Continues; Asian Markets Rise on Trade Optimism Indices: 🇺🇸 S&P 500: +0.13% 🇺🇸 Nasdaq: -0.13% 🇪🇺 STOXX 600: -0.11% 🇯🇵 Nikkei 225: +1.35% 🇭🇰 Hang Seng: +1.61% 🇨🇳 CSI 300: -0.01% 🇸🇬 Straits Times Index: +1.58% US stocks closed mixed, with the S&P 500 edging up 0.1% and the Nasdaq slipping 0.1%. Strong performances from Eli Lilly and Apple helped offset investor caution over interest rates and US-Japan trade talks. For the week ending April 12, 2025, US initial jobless claims fell by 9,000 to 215,000, beating forecasts of 225,000 and indicating a still-strong labor market. However, ongoing trade tensions and policy uncertainty are prompting businesses to remain cautious about hiring. The European Central Bank cut its deposit rate by 25 basis points

      As a Singapore-based consumer and investor, I’ve definitely noticed Chagee’s $Chagee Holdings Limited(CHA)$ growing presence here — with outlets at Orchard and Raffles City, they’re positioning themselves as a more premium, lifestyle-oriented brand. Compared to Mixue or Heytea, Chagee feels more curated and experience-driven, which seems to appeal to the urban crowd in Singapore. From an investment angle, the IPO pricing looks attractive. Chagee’s earnings strength stands out — nearly double Guming’s profit, yet it trades at a lower valuation. That suggests potential upside. Still, I understand the caution given US-China tensions and the risk of a future de-listing. If Chagee delivers on growth and manages sentiment well, it could shape up as a st

      I believe the current correction is more complicated than what we saw in 2018. While the S&P 500’s recent drop has already surpassed 2018’s levels, today’s backdrop includes elevated valuations, lingering recession risks, and tariff uncertainty. Unlike 2018, a clear rebound catalyst like a Fed pivot hasn’t emerged yet. A breakthrough in US-China talks could provide a short-term boost, especially if it helps cool inflation and support growth. But with markets still pricing in optimistic earnings expectations, I wouldn’t rule out a second wave of selling — particularly if economic data softens or guidance gets revised down. That said, I don’t expect a deep crash. If GDP stays above recession territory and inflation stabilizes, a second dip could set up a double bottom. I’m watching close

      I believe Palantir’s $Palantir Technologies Inc.(PLTR)$ rebound has real substance behind it. The NATO deal is a strong signal that its AI technology is being taken seriously in critical defense applications. In a shaky market, companies tied to defense and security tend to hold up better, and Palantir has shown impressive resilience while others pulled back. That said, the valuation is definitely stretched, and I’m cautious about chasing it too aggressively. I’ve trimmed some profits but continue to hold a core position, especially given the long-term potential in both government and commercial AI adoption. Insider selling and potential budget cuts are red flags I’m watching closely. My outlook remains optimistic but measured. I’ll stay on board

      Palantir has been standing out in this recent market downturn. After hitting a new high in February, it dipped just 0.61% in March and has already rebounded 16.59% in April — bringing its year-to-date gain to an impressive 30.11%. While often labeled as an AI play, Palantir is also a defense stock, which tends to shine during times of market volatility and geopolitical tension.This week, shares surged again after NATO announced it would adopt Palantir’s AI software to modernize its defense capabilities.But here’s the catch: valuation concerns still linger. Do you believe in Palantir’s continued rebound, or is this just a temporary hype rally?

      I opened $Palantir Technologies Inc.(PLTR)$  ,Palantir Technologies presents a compelling investment opportunity, particularly for long-term investors bullish on data analytics and AI. The company has established itself as a leader in big data integration and decision-making platforms, with its flagship products—Gotham, Foundry, and now Artificial Intelligence Platform (AIP)—being adopted by both government and commercial clients. PLTR's deep ties with the U.S. government and defense sectors create a stable revenue foundation, while its expansion into commercial enterprises promises higher-margin growth. A major tailwind for Palantir is the accelerating adoption of artificial intelligence and machine learning across industries. Unlike generic

      I’ve been watching gold closely & the sharp rebound after the recent 7% drop highlights strong demand. While some investors sold to cover losses elsewhere, the quick recovery to $3,263 shows gold’s safe-haven appeal remains intact. With US dollar weakness, surging Treasury yields, and central banks buying at record levels, I believe gold has a solid path toward $3,500 this year. I’ve started increasing my gold exposure gradually. While short-term volatility is real—especially during crises where gold can be sold off for liquidity—I still see it as a core hedge. At the same time, I’m holding some cash for flexibility if we see a deeper correction. For me, cash offers short-term safety, but gold is essential for long-term protection in an unstable macro environment. Looking forward, I th

      As a Singapore resident, I view the recent strength of the SGD as both a positive and a limitation. On the upside, it makes overseas travel, remittances, and online shopping more affordable. But despite the stronger currency, the cost of living here continues to rise. Essentials like food, rent, and daily expenses haven't become any cheaper, so the benefits aren’t really translating into day-to-day relief. With MAS easing policy again and banks cutting deposit rates, I’ve had to reconsider where to keep my savings. Fixed deposits now only offer around 2% to 2.5%. With inflation still creeping in, holding cash in traditional bank accounts just doesn’t make much sense anymore. That’s why I’ve started using Tiger Vault. The approximate 4% yield is a big plus, and the flexibility to withdraw a

      I think gold could be a strong choice during a recession, especially with Goldman Sachs forecasting a year-end price of $3,700 and UBS at $3,500, with potential to hit $4,500. Gold has historically been a safe-haven asset, making it a good hedge against inflation and volatility in uncertain times like these. However, I'm also weighing other economic factors. A recession might drive gold prices higher, but interest rates, geopolitical tensions, and central bank policies—like recent reserve ratio cuts—could also impact its appeal. Gold thrives in low-rate environments, so I'm watching these trends closely before deciding. Ultimately, I see gold as a solid option but wouldn't go all-in. Diversifying with bonds or defensive stocks seems prudent, though I'm considering adding some gold to my po

      Honestly, in this market climate, it feels like taking your eyes off the screen for even a few hours could mean missing a major policy reversal. Trump’s weekend tariff flip-flops have turned investing into a full-time surveillance job. I used to follow longer-term strategies with confidence, but now it feels like every move requires a backup plan—just in case there’s another tweet or press release while I’m sleeping. Lately, I’ve found myself shifting toward faster, more reactive trades. Instead of holding positions for weeks, I’m looking at daily or even intraday setups. The market’s not short on opportunities, but with the rules constantly changing, it’s hard to trust anything long enough to hold it through the weekend. That said, I’m not giving up or tuning out—I’m just adjusting. While
