    This week, we take a closer look at the Monetary Authority of Singapore’s S$1.1 billion capital injection into small and mid-cap companies, spotlighting five stocks that may benefit. We also assess whether Singapore REITs remain a smart investment, with interest rates staying higher for longer.

    On the blue-chip front, we examine four Temasek-owned stocks with strong long-term potential, and track the Straits Times Index as it breaks past the 4,200 level. For income investors, we’ve found five Singapore stocks yielding more than your CPF OA rate.

    In global markets, we compare two semiconductor powerhouses, TSMC and ASML, to see which may be the better buy. We also highlight four Singapore stocks that have soared over 290% in the last five years and feature four reliable US growth stocks for investors with US$5,000 to deploy.
