Market View: SpaceX, Grab and Sea Arrive on SGX as AI Powers Wall Street Higher

The Straits Times Index has quietly outperformed many major global markets this year, even as Wall Street continues to dominate headlines with artificial intelligence, Big Tech and record valuations.

So what's driving the STI's resilience?

Is this simply a rotation into value stocks and banks, or does it reflect stronger fundamentals in Singapore's market? 

Michelle Martin speaks with Nirgunan Tiruchelvam, Head of Consumer and Internet Research at Aletheia Capital, to unpack what's behind the divergence between Singapore and US equities.

The Hair Loss Solution You Didn't Know About? Scalp Micropigmentation 

Singapore is home to some of the market's most recognisable names, from SGX, Singtel and Singapore Airlines to Keppel, CapitaLand Investment and SATS.

But while these companies are often seen as national champions, does that automatically make them great investments?

Michelle Martin speaks with Alvin Chow, Co-founder of Dr Wealth, about how investors should distinguish between a great business and a great stock.

They discuss whether strong companies can still disappoint if expectations are already priced in, and where overlooked opportunities may lie instead.

The conversation examines the latest developments across Singapore's blue-chip names - from SGX's surge in trading activity and Singtel's capital recycling strategy, to CapitaLand Investment's asset-light transformation, SIA's record revenue but lower profits, SATS' global expansion, and Keppel's ongoing business reshaping.

Alvin also shares which company offers the strongest long-term investment case today and the biggest mistake retail investors make when assuming a great company will automatically deliver great returns.
