Global headlines turned up the heat this week. Donald Trump threw a curveball by proposing a sweeping 10% tariff on all U.S. imports—with even steeper rates for countries like China, Japan, and the EU. If you’re wondering what this means for your investments, you’re not alone. Trade tensions are back on the table, and now’s a great time to reassess how your portfolio is positioned.
Back home, Singapore investors had something to cheer about—the Straits Times Index crossed the 4,000 mark for the first time ever. While it’s a milestone worth noting, it also begs the question: is there more upside to come, or should we be cautious at these levels? We take a closer look at what’s been driving the rally and what could come next.
Of course, a rising tide often lifts individual stocks—and several are making waves of their own. Some Singapore companies are hitting fresh 52-week highs, while others have already racked up impressive double-digit gains this year. If you’re looking to refresh your watchlist, this week’s highlights offer no shortage of interesting names—from blue-chip movers to steady mid-cap dividend payers.
And for those hunting for income, we haven’t forgotten you. We spotlight four Singapore REITs to keep an eye on in April, plus a delicious set of U.S. restaurant stocks serving up stable dividends. Whether you’re investing for growth, income, or a bit of both, there’s something for everyone this week.
