Why It Matters: Say Goodbye to Throwaway Culture in the Fashion Industry

A cancelled ride could soon mean compensation for drivers. Ride-hailing platform Tada is revising its cancellation policy so drivers can receive $3 if a passenger cancels while they are already on the way and within 500 metres of the pickup point, a change that follows feedback raised by the National Private Hire Vehicles Association.

Then, we zoom out to the staggering fortunes at the top of the global rich list. The latest Forbes Billionaires List once again places Elon Musk at number one, with an estimated US$839 billion net worth making him the wealthiest individual ever recorded and highlighting the massive surge in tech-driven wealth.

On What’s Trending, Hongbin Jeong and Zia-ul Raushan unpack these headlines from gig workers on Singapore’s roads to the growing concentration of wealth among the world’s tech titans.

Singapore shares dipped today as investors closely monitor developments out of the Middle East. 

The Straits Times Index was 0.46% lower at 4,841.35 points at 2.19pm Singapore time, with a value turnover of S$1.15B seen across the broader market.

In terms of counters to watch, we have Del Monte Pacific. The food and beverage group posted yesterday a net profit of US$10 million for the three months ended Jan 31, over three times that of the US$2.5 million in the same year-ago period. 

Elsewhere, from how the Singapore Exchange announced that its February performance had the highest securities daily average value (or SDAV) since 2020, to how Brent crude surged above US$100 a barrel again as Iraq stopped operations at its oil ports after two tankers were targeted, more financial headlines remained in focus.

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

From tea stalls in Kolkata to jeepney drivers in Manila, the shockwaves from the war involving Iran are already being felt far beyond the battlefield.

The region buys the vast majority of its oil from the Middle East, meaning households, transport workers and food vendors could be among the first to feel the squeeze.

So how big could this fuel crunch become, and what does it mean for economies across Asia?
