Guidance Shocks and Profit Slips: Where Are Singapore Banks Headed?
Singapore’s banking giants, UOB and DBS, have dropped their latest Q1 earnings bombshells, and the market’s buzzing with questions. UOB’s stock took a near 2% hit after it scrapped its 2025 guidance, blaming US tariffs, while DBS saw a 2% profit dip but still managed to outshine expectations. With tariffs casting a shadow and dividends in play, how will these moves shape their stock trajectories, and who’s standing taller this quarter? Let’s dive in. UOB: Tariff Turbulence Hits Hard UOB posted a stable Q1 net profit of S$1.49 billion—solid, but below the S$1.52 billion analysts had pegged. The real kicker?

That's not good for gold, and a drop below $3,300 could intensify the downtrend and head for the cycle low of $3,202 on 1 May.

S&P 500 Rally Suddenly Halts as U.S. Stocks Sink into an Uncertainty Quagmire
The S&P 500's nine-day rally - its longest winning streak in nearly 20 years - came to an abrupt end on Monday, marking a stark reversal after the index had nearly recovered losses triggered by early April's "reciprocal tariffs" rhetoric. This rally had been fueled by the Trump administration's decision to suspend additional tariffs and positive signals from trade negotiations.Tariff Policy Uncertainty ResurfacesWhile the S&P 500 closed May 2 with a 1.5% gain to secure its ninth consecutive daily advance, markets remained under the cloud of tariff policy risks. Morgan Stanley strategist Michael Wilson and his team emphasized that maintaining this upward trajectory would require concrete progress on trade agreements.The anticipated trade deal optimism evaporated abruptly on May 5 wh

$Coinbase Global, Inc.(COIN)$ reported Q1 2025 results after the bell on Thursday, and overall performance was weaker than market expectations, with shares down about 3.2% after the bell.The company's Q1 profit missed expectations, primarily driven by lower trading volumes due to declining volatility in the crypto market, which in turn weighed on revenue performance.Q1 results were slightly below expectations and guidance for Q2 results was relatively weak, but the volatility in the cryptocurrency markets over the past few months led to a decline in trading volumes on the platform, which was also expected by investors.Results and market feedbackOverall Q1 results were down slightly sequentially, with revenue of $2.03 billion, slightly below the ma
East Rising, West Declining : What Stocks/ETFs to buy?
🌟🌟🌟Global economic power is shifting. In recent decades, Eastern economies especially those in Asia, have demonstrated rapid industrialisation, technological innovation and export led growth. In contrast, many Western economies have struggled with aging demographics, persistent trade deficits and slower innovation cycles. This evolving dynamic poses a compelling investment thesis : if East continues to rise and the West declines, which stocks and ETFs are poised to benefit the most? 1. Understanding the Trend The narrative of Eastern dominance is driven by several key factors : A. Economic Dynamism: Countries like China, South Korea, Taiwan and India are investing heavily in technology, infrastructure and education. Their high savings rates an

Ad Tech Alchemy: Can AppLovin Transmute Code into Gold?
AppLovin isn’t your average app ecosystem player—it’s morphing into something far more potent. With its AXON 2.0 technology fuelling unprecedented efficiency in mobile advertising and a software platform quietly conquering developer wallets, I believe the market is underestimating the sheer upside here. Despite a meteoric 258% rally over the past year, the numbers suggest there’s still serious fuel in the tank—potentially up to 115% more. Reborn in data—AXON’s ascent begins here Let’s unpack why. AXON 2.0: The Engine Beneath the Ascent AppLovin’s AXON 2.0 is no gimmick. This AI-powered advertising engine is delivering high-precision ad placements by crunching consumer behaviour and real-time bidding data at speed and scale.

Google and Apple Costly Split. Which product will win the AI race?
🌟🌟🌟Both Apple $Apple(AAPL)$ and Google $Alphabet(GOOGL)$ are currently under intense regulatory scrutiny . For years, Google has maintained its dominant position as the default search engine on Apple's Safari browser. However there is talk that Apple may reconsider its long term reliance on Google as its default search partner. This is due to the ongoing Antitrust scrutiny in both US and Europe. Splitting the default arrangement could be seen as a way to mitigate allegations of market dominance and foster competition. However if the split happens, Google's hefty payments to Apple may be reduced if its exclus
