Daily Sprout 🌱 (4 September)  US stocks rallied on Thursday as investors pared back rate hike expectations after Fed Governor Christopher Waller signalled support for holding rates steady if inflation continues to ease. All three major indexes gained at least 1%, with the Nasdaq boosted by strong gains among the “Magnificent Seven” AI-related megacap stocks. STI ⬆️ 0.06% HSI ⬇️ 0.39% NKY ⬇️ 0.17% S&P500 ⬆️ 1.06% Nasdaq ⬆️ 1.40% DJIA ⬆️ 1.18% Russell2000 ⬆️ 0.51% What's Sprouting  🌱 Singapore funds recorded S$1.3 billion of net inflows in 2Q2026, bringing first-half inflows to S$4.5 billion despite a slowdown from S$3.2 billion in 1Q. Allocation funds led the quarter with S$1.8 billion of net inflows, up from S$1.5 billion in the previous quarter. 🌱 CapitaLand Investment has cut 90 jobs in Singapore in 2026, equivalent to around 4% of its local workforce of about 2,200 employees. CLI said the reductions followed a review of its organisational structure to align with its strategic priorities and long-term business needs. Read more here 🌱 Frencken Group has raised approximately S$100 million through the placement of 44.1 million new shares at S$2.2687 each to institutional and accredited investors. Participants included Amova Asset Management, Avanda Investment Management and Lion Global Investors, with Maybank Securities acting as the sole placement agent. Read more here 🌱 Air India is reportedly close to securing 100 billion rupees (US$1.1 billion) in financial support from its owners Tata Sons and Singapore Airlines, subject to meeting certain performance milestones. The funding will be provided proportionally to their 74.9% and 25.1% stakes, as Air India seeks to recover from a difficult year that saw it post a record 220 billion rupee loss. 🌱 Hongkong Land is reportedly exploring an entry into Japan’s property market, targeting deals worth over US$1 billion for prime mixed-use developments in Tokyo. The potential expansion forms part of parent Jardine Matheson’s shift towards a returns-focused investment model, although talks remain preliminary and no deal has been finalised. 🌱 Addvalue Technologies has secured about US$5 million of new contracts, lifting its order book to US$20.23 million. The orders are expected to be substantially fulfilled in the coming year and have a material positive impact on FY2027. About US$2.8 million of the new contracts came from its space connectivity segment, involving IDRS terminals for Earth observation and in-orbit service missions. 🌱 Singapore is looking to strengthen its fintech talent pipeline, but the industry still faces a shortage of professionals who understand both technology and finance.  Market observers said the gap is becoming more pressing as AI adoption grows in the highly regulated financial sector. Randstad Singapore noted that while there are many developers and finance specialists, there remains a shortage of “hybrid” talent who can bridge both areas. 💬 Discuss this @BeansproutSG 🔈 Join @BeansproutAnnouncement for latest insights

Daily Sprout 🌱 (3 September)  US stocks rebounded on Wednesday, snapping part of a three-day decline as investors sought opportunities in stocks hit by recent risk-off sentiment. At the sector level, airlines, gold and silver miners, and regional banks led gains, while software and services stocks underperformed amid concerns over potential AI disruption. STI ⬆️ 0.59% HSI ⬇️ 0.07% NKY ⬇️ 2.85% S&P500 ⬆️ 0.46% Nasdaq ⬆️ 0.45% DJIA ⬆️ 0.56% Russell2000 ⬆️ 1.10% What's Sprouting  🌱 Economists raised their 2026 Singapore GDP growth forecast to 5% in MAS’ September survey, up from 3.5% in June, reflecting upgrades across most sectors.

The PMI edged up 0.1 point from July to 51.5, staying above the 50 mark that signals expansion.

The telco spent S$55.6 million to repurchase about 13 million shares at an average price of S$4.277 each. For the first eight months of 2026, Singtel accounted for S$948.6 million, or about 45% of total buyback spending on the SGX. 🌱 Singapore Airlines is set to unveil its highly anticipated next-generation cabin products, with selected top-tier frequent fliers invited for a preview in early November.
