Right Business: The role of AI in creating a happier workplace

Singapore is a nation that celebrates excellence, be it in academics, innovation, and global business. But when it comes to sports, are we doing enough to show our support?

Our athletes train with relentless discipline in order to represent the country on the world stage, yet many go without a much deserved appreciation. However, some insist that Singapore does appreciate its athletes through financial rewards, sponsorships, and world-class facilities.

On The Hot Seat, Hongbin Jeong speaks to Brandon Ooi, Singapore’s Canoe Sprint Athlete and Dr Valerie Teo, President of Singapore Bowling Federation, to discuss whether Singaporean athletes are truly underappreciated.

Geopolitical tensions, shifting interest rate expectations, and renewed tariff threats under the Trump campaign’s proposed economic agenda have created fresh waves of uncertainty in global markets. 

In this environment, even traditional safe havens are being questioned, with the US dollar under pressure and US Treasurys facing growing scepticism. 

It’s becoming increasingly clear that it is going to get harder to be a long-term investor. With volatility now a constant rather than a cycle, is it time to rethink what long-term investing really means?

Singapore shares dipped today as investors continue to monitor the state of the global economy. 

The Straits Times Index was down 0.27% at 3,869.69 points at 2.11pm Singapore time, with a value turnover of S$657.60M seen in the broader market.

In terms of counters to watch today, we have Yangzijiang Shipbuilding. The marine vessel manufacturer reported that its year-to-date order wins for the first quarter of 2025 amounted to six vessels worth US$300 million. 

Yangzijiang Shipbuilding said this was around 5 per cent of its US$6 billion target for the 2025 financial year.

Elsewhere, from Singapore’s core inflation coming in hotter-than-expected in April, to how US President Donald Trump’s trade negotiators are reportedly pushing the EU to make unilateral tariff reductions on US goods – more economic headlines remain in focus. 

On Market View, Money Matters’ finance presenter Chua Tian Tian unpacked the developments with Benjamin Goh, Head of Research and Investor Education, SIAS.
