On Wealth Tracker, Hongbin Jeong speaks to Michel Lowy, CEO and Global Portfolio Manager at SC Lowy, on how AI is reshaping credit risk, underwriting standards, and portfolio construction in private markets.

Wealth Tracker: What does AI mean for cash-flow durability in private credit portfolios?

Singapore’s hawker centres have long been seen as the city’s great equalizer, where a $5 meal still delivers comfort and cultural identity in one of the world’s most expensive cities. But new data suggests that this everyday institution is under mounting pressure.

A recent Blackbox Research SensingSG survey finds that 72% of Singaporeans believe hawker culture is now under threat. Meanwhile, 4 in 10 Singaporeans say they cannot maintain their current lifestyle without access to affordable hawker food.

What happens when something universally valued becomes economically fragile? And if the iconic $5 meal is no longer sustainable, what replaces it and who gets left out?

On The Big Story, Hongbin Jeong speaks with Glenn Wray, Chief Strategy and Marketing Officer at Blackbox Research, to find out more.

Singapore shares slid today, tracking movements seen in the region. 

The Straits Times Index fell 1.08% to 4,948.92 points at 11.42am Singapore time, with a value turnover of S$965.25M seen in the broader market.

In terms of counters to watch, we have Keppel, after the company today reported slightly lower year-on-year net profit for the first quarter ended March, as lower real estate contributions offset higher earnings from its infrastructure and connectivity segments.

Elsewhere, from how the S&P 500 and the Nasdaq closed at new record highs overnight, helped by a strong start to earnings season, to how Tesla CEO Elon Musk said that the electric vehicle maker plans to use Intel’s next-generation 14A manufacturing process to make chips at its Terafab project, more corporate headlines remained in focus.

Also on deck, how Japan’s Nikkei share average crossed the 60,000 level for the first time today.

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