Listen Later

Singapore stocks sold off as Asian markets tumbled this morning, following US President Donald Trump’s tariff announcement last Wednesday. The Straits Times Index plunged by 8.5 percent, falling below 3,500 points. This marked the largest intraday decline since the STI crashed 9 percent during the global financial crisis in 2008. Meanwhile, Singapore REITs recorded net institutional inflows in March, rising 1.4% this year.

On Market View, Willie Keng speaks with David Kuo, Co-founder, The Smart Investor to find out more.
