We cast the spotlight on the world’s top economies, namely the US, China, and India today. In the US, investors sift through Federal Reserve boss Jerome Powell’s speech at a Brookings Institution event last night for hints on the magnitude of future rate hikes. 

Back in Asia, Chinese health officials had announced measures earlier this week to improve vaccination rates among the elderly - but to what extent does this speak about China’s plans to open up to the world once again?

Meanwhile, India released its GDP figures for the third quarter yesterday, but to what extent is demand resilient in face of elevated price gains and borrowing costs? 

On Market View, Prime Time’s finance presenter Chua Tian Tian broke down the key topics of the week with Khoon Goh, Head of Asia Research at ANZ.

Singapore stocks fell at the opening bell this morning, tracking losses in global markets amid worries over geopolitical uncertainty in the Middle East. 

In early trade, the Straits Times Index (STI) fell 0.3 per cent to 3,175.63 points after 39.3 million securities changed hands in the broader market. 

In terms of companies to watch, Singapore Airlines, after the national carrier and its low-cost arm Scoot together moved 3.3 million passengers in March, up 20.7 per cent from the previous year.

Elsewhere from more on TSMC’s earnings to China’s Q1 GDP numbers, more corporate and international headlines remain in focus. 

Glad to unpack the developments with James Cheo, Chief Investment Officer, Southeast Asia and India at HSBC Global Private Banking and Wealth.
