The U.S. has introduced port fees on Chinese-built ships starting mid-October 2025 to revive its shipbuilding industry and challenge China's dominance. Fees start at $50 per ton of cargo, rising by $30 annually for three years, with container ships charged $120 per container and non-U.S.-built car carriers at $150 per vehicle. Fees apply once per voyage, up to five times yearly, with exemptions for empty vessels carrying U.S. exports, ships moving goods between U.S. ports, and U.S./Canadian Great Lakes vessels. Scaled back from a proposed $1.5 million per port visit fee, the policy aims to minimize trade disruptions. Critics, including China's foreign ministry, argue the fees will raise U.S. consumer prices without significantly reviving shipbuilding. The USTR asserts that China's dominanc

I find it quite frustrating that a new special task force is quickly set up in response to sweeping US tariffs, yet we don’t see the same urgency when it comes to critical domestic issues like lowering the cost of living or reducing the cost of doing business. For years, these have been pressing concerns—exacerbated by the long-term influx of foreign labour, which has strained our public healthcare system, housing, and transport infrastructure. Yet, there’s no dedicated task force to seriously tackle these challenges head-on. To me, it often feels like these task forces are just another layer of optics. They pull ideas from civil servants and then parade them as ministerial initiatives. A friend of mine who was an ex-MTI officer shared how policies are actually formulated: ministers give t

Once upon a time, I knew every neighbour in my apartment. We celebrated festive seasons together, shared food, and chatted at the lift lobby. But things have changed. These days, the faces around me are unfamiliar — mostly expatriates. I no longer hear the familiar dialects, nor do I catch the aroma of local dishes being cooked at home. Instead, the neighbourhood is filled with foreign food chains and franchises — many serving pre-prepared meals from central kitchens, lacking the soul and authenticity of traditional Singaporean cooking.. Slowly, I’ve come to realise: I might be the only Singaporean left in my community. I’m not saying this out of xenophobia — far from it. I welcome diversity. But when the familiar is replaced entirely, it’s hard not to feel like a stranger in your own home

The U.S. tariff wave is shaking things up, pushing the Japanese yen to multi-month highs. Meanwhile, Warren Buffett’s Berkshire Hathaway just issued ¥90 billion in yen bonds on Nov. 11, hinting at a bold bet on Japan’s top five trading companies. Could this signal the market’s bottom and the start of an uptrend? Analysts love the setup: yen-denominated bonds sidestep currency risks, and with trading firms yielding ~3% against Buffett’s ~1.5% borrowing cost, there’s a juicy ~1.5% spread to pocket.

Update: Trump has "roti prata" again!  Trump says no one is "getting off the hook" as he seeks to clarify tariff exclusions President Donald Trump attempted to clarify the status of US tariffs on high-tech products from China after a weekend of confusion that added new uncertainty to his plan for global trade. “NOBODY is getting 'off the hook' for the unfair Trade Balances, and Non Monetary Tariff Barriers, that other Countries have used against us, especially not China which, by far, treats us the worst!” Trump wrote on Truth Social today. "There was no Tariff 'exception' announced on Friday. These products are subject to the existing 20% ​​Fentanyl Tariffs, and they are just moving to a different Tariff 'bucket,'" he continued.

Hold onto your hats — President Donald Trump is feeling super optimistic about smoothing things over with China, and honestly? It’s making people a little crazy!White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt brought the bubbly news on Friday, just hours after China dramatically hiked tariffs on U.S. imports to a whopping 125% (yep, from 84% — drama much?). It’s the latest punch in the ongoing trade war soap opera, but Trump? He’s still got stars in his eyes for a deal.“The president’s made it very clear — he’s totally open to working something out with China,” Leavitt said, adding with a grin that he’s feeling “optimistic” about getting to yes. The mood in D.C.? Think hopeful... with a side of high-stress pacing and lots of strong coffee.“If China’s ready to deal, the president would be grac

How to stay calm and slay the stock market?  Volatility ≠ Risk Stocks going down? Not always bad! If you know the business, it's like your fave item going on sale.

When the market is in turmoil, it's natural to feel uneasy—but being more panicked than the market itself doesn’t help. So the real question is: how can we calm ourselves and think rationally in such times? In my own analysis, I've found that approaching market events with a structured, data-driven mindset helps reduce fear and restore clarity. I like to break everything down—one figure at a time—and once you see the numbers laid out objectively, the situation often feels much less alarming. Since the big drop on April 2, global markets have taken a hit. Negotiations are still ongoing without any real breakthrough, investor confidence has slipped, and the sell-off continues. The U.S. stock market alone has lost $10 trillion in market cap. I’ve compared different types of companies by secto
