[SINGAPORE] Singapore stocks ended lower on Monday (Jun 8) amid fears of Big Tech and the release of US labour data, which also led to a significant pullback in global markets earlier.

The Straits Times Index (STI) lost 1.7 per cent or 86.29 points to finish at 4,963.67.

It ended in a sea of red with only two counters, CapitaLand Integrated Commercial Trust : C38U 0% and Mapletree Logistics Trust : M44U 0% closing unchanged at S$2.27 and S$1.18, respectively.

Economists see slower Singapore growth in 2026, faster inflation​

(June 8): Economists lowered their forecasts for Singapore’s economic growth and raised inflation expectations, according to the latest Bloomberg News survey conducted June 2-5.

Gross domestic product (GDP) will expand 3.9% in the second quarter, according to the results, down from 4.5% in the previous survey in March.

The full-year GDP outlook fell to 3.3% from 3.5%. Headline and core inflation forecasts for this year were raised to 2.3% and 2%, respectively, from 1.5% previously for both.

While the government last month reiterated its 2%-4% outlook for growth this year, it warned that the outlook has weakened because of energy and supply chain disruptions from the Middle East conflict.

Supply disruptions have extended beyond crude oil and driven up production costs, Ahmad Mobeen, S&P Global Market Intelligence’s principal economist for Asia-Pacific, said in a survey response.

“These developments will compress margins in energy-intensive sectors, while increased uncertainty around global trade flows is likely to dampen investment and production decisions and export orders in the coming quarters,“ Mobeen added.

Singapore Prime Minister Lawrence Wongwarned that the economy has yet to feel the full impact of the Middle East conflict, and uncertainty remains over the growth outlook despite a strong performance in the first quarter.

“There’s a lag,” Wong said on Monday at a Singapore Press Club event. “There are downside risks and we do expect more pressures to come on both growth and inflation in the second half of the year.”

SINGAPORE: Employees who lose their jobs in Singapore are considered to have been retrenched even if new or similar roles in their organisations are available overseas which they successfully apply for, the Manpower Ministry (MOM) and National Trades Union Congress (NTUC) have told CNA.

Responding to queries, NTUC said it was concerned about “practices where workers are asked to reapply for roles locally or for roles that have moved overseas but (are) presented as new opportunities” amid business restructuring.
