    As tariff talk resurfaces with Trump back in the spotlight, Singapore investors are once again weighing the ripple effects on local banks and the broader market. This week’s Smart Reads brings together timely insights to help you stay invested with confidence.

    We start with a classic question — which stocks can truly pay you dividends for life? We spotlight five blue-chip names that have the track record, cash flow and staying power to keep delivering through good times and bad. And if you’ve got S$5,000 to invest, we share three reliable blue-chip ideas that could offer both peace of mind and long-term growth.

    REIT investors will also find something of interest. We pit Mapletree Industrial Trust against Mapletree Logistics Trust to see which comes out on top in today’s environment. Plus, three Singapore stocks just released their latest results. We cover the numbers, market reactions and what to watch next.

    Also in this week’s list: four Singapore stocks hitting new 52-week highs, and three US growth stocks you can buy and hold for the long run. Whether you’re income-focused, growth-oriented or somewhere in between, there’s something for everyone.

    Here are this week’s top articles:
