China Perspective: Is China's third plenum in 'uncharted territory'?

Singapore shares traded in the positive territory today. 

The Straits Times Index was up 0.68% at 4,776.89 points at 1.06pm Singapore time, with a value turnover of S$631.00M seen in the broader market.

In terms of companies to watch, we have the Singapore Exchange, after the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) on Friday proposed various legislative and regulatory changes to facilitate the establishment of the SGX-Nasdaq dual-listing bridge.

Elsewhere, from how Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co is expected to post a 27% jump in fourth-quarter net profit to a record due to the seemingly insatiable demand for AI infrastructure, to how Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell said the Trump administration threatened him with a criminal indictment, more corporate and international headlines remained in focus. 

On Market View, Money Matters’ finance presenter Chua Tian Tian unpacked the developments with Chin Hui Leong, Co-founder, The Smart Investor.

A report paints a nuanced picture of Singapore’s job market heading into 2026.

Companies are increasingly turning to hybrid workforce models, which could change the way jobseekers approach the market.

On The Big Story, Hongbin Jeong speaks to Ives Tay, Independent Workforce Development Consultant, to unpack what these trends mean for jobseekers, which sectors offer real opportunities, and how workers can navigate this selective labour market.
