Did you know that In 2022, the amount of e-waste generated globally hit 62 million tonnes and that is enough to fill 1.55 million 40-tonne trucks. And Asia is a major source of e-waste, accounting for nearly half of the global e-waste generated in 2022. 

While many components of electronic devices are recyclable, the recycling rate for e-waste is relatively low.

Why It Matters: Giving our e-waste a second chance

The Trump administration is facing political uproar after a journalist had been inadvertently added to an unsecure group chat with US national security officials discussing war plans.

The Atlantic magazine's Jeffrey Goldberg had been added to a Signal message group which apparently included Vice-President JD Vance and Defence Secretary Pete Hegseth. He said he had seen classified military plans for US strikes on Houthi rebels, including weapons packages, targets and timing, two hours before the bombs struck.

Could the breach have posed a real threat to American lives or national security? How how will this Signal war chat breach hurt President Trump?

On The Big Story, Hongbin Jeong speaks with Pushan Dutt, Professor of Economics and Political Science at INSEAD to find out more.

Wealth Tracker: Is the current over-representation of the US financial assets in global indices peaking?

Singapore shares were in the green today, tracking broader gains in Asian markets. 

The Straits Times Index was up 0.31% at 3,966.79 points at about 12.10pm (12.12pm), with a value turnover of S$537.66M in the broader market.

In terms of companies to watch for today, we have Frasers Centrepoint Trust, after its manager said today that the trust’s upsized private placement, at S$2.09 per new unit, was around four times covered. 

Elsewhere, from the US adding six subsidiaries of China’s leading cloud computing and big data service provider Inspur Group to its export restriction list, to how the world’s top electric vehicle battery maker CATL received China’s approval to proceed with a potentially blockbuster share sale in Hong Kong – more international and corporate headlines remain in focus.

On Market View, Money Matters’ finance presenter Chua Tian Tian unpacked the developments with Jeremy Tan, CEO, Tiger Fund Management.
