Following a deadly attack on tourists in Indian-administered Kashmir on April 22, India launched retaliatory strikes on Pakistan-held parts of the territory.

New Delhi has accused Islamabad of sheltering a militant group that allegedly carried out the attack. But, after four days of intense fighting, a ceasefire deal was reached on May 10.

But how long will it last, as tensions between the two neighbours continue to simmer? Will the India-Pakistan truce hold?

On The Big Story, Hongbin Jeong speaks with Dr Sinderpal Singh, Senior Fellow and Assistant Director of the Institute of Defence and Strategic Studies at the S. Rajaratnam School of International Studies at the Nanyang Technological University to find out more.

The Big Story: India-Pakistan ceasefire holds. But, for how long? 

In the wake of the Federal Reserve’s latest policy decision, we'll take a deep dive into the shifting landscape of US economic exceptionalism. 

Especially in terms of the  mounting pressures challenging the dollar’s dominance on the global stage, including accelerating trends of de-dollarisation by key international players. 

We’ll also unpack the emerging decoupling between the US dollar and US Treasury bonds—a development that could disrupt traditional safe-haven dynamics and alter global capital flows. 

On Wealth Tracker, Hongbin Jeong speaks to Gautam Chadda, Head of Strategic Advisory (Asia) at RBC Wealth Management, to find out more.

Wealth Tracker: Fed hold rates steady again - What does this mean for US exceptionalism?

Singapore shares dipped today as investors continue to mull the US Federal Reserve’s latest move to hold interest rates at prevailing levels.

The Straits Times Index was down 0.31% at 3,908.55 points at 11.50am Singapore time, with a value turnover of S$350.49M seen in the broader market.

In terms of companies to watch, we have DBS, after the lender inked a memorandum of understanding with the Australian Trade and Investment Commission today to deepen investment links between Australia and South-east Asia. 

Elsewhere, from the Fed’s dot plot of future rates and central bank chief Jerome Powell’s comments on US tariffs, to Shell CEO Wael Sawan’s take on the escalating conflict between Israel and Iran – more international and corporate headlines remain in focus.

On Market View, Money Matters’ finance presenter Chua Tian Tian dived into the details with David Chow, Director, Azure Capital.

A man in Singapore made headlines after being shot in the lower back while cycling with friends on June 15 in a restricted area between Upper Seletar and Upper Peirce reservoirs.

The incident took place roughly 2.3km from the Nee Soon military training area, where a live-firing exercise was being conducted at the time.

In a statement issued on June 16, MINDEF reminded the public that the Military Manoeuvres Act prohibits unauthorized access to gazetted SAF live-firing zones, citing safety concerns.

This raises several important questions: What exactly are gazetted areas in Singapore?
What happens if you accidentally trespass into one? And what legal consequences could you face?

On The Big Story, Honbin Jeong speaks with Ng Kai Ling, Associate Director at LIMN Law Corporation to find out more.
