EVENTS OF THE WEEK

SG
Artificial intelligence company Anthropic will open its office in Singapore next month, marking its fifth location in the Asia-Pacific. The expansion in the region is to support strong enterprise demand for its AI model Claude.
UltraGreen.ai is still focused on maintaining US market share despite a competitive environment, it said in a Wednesday (Sep 16) bourse filing. The group is “actively engaging” with distribution partners in the US amid its broader growth strategy.
Data-management firm Databricks on Wednesday (Sep 16) announced that it plans to invest over US$350 million in its Singapore operations over three years and double its workforce to more than 500.
CDL to launch 570-unit Jurong project Lucerne Grand with prices from S$1.5 million.

US
OpenAi has recently held discussions with large investors about a fresh capital raise that would increase the ChatGPT maker’s valuation to about US$1.2 trillion before it goes public. It has also said on Wednesday (Sep 16) it would begin regularly publishing reports on unexpected or unauthorised AI behaviour, while warning that the industry has yet to solve key alignment challenges as systems grow more powerful.
The Federal Reserve raised interest rates on Wednesday (Sep 16) and flagged more hikes in the coming months. With the combined impact of Trump’s global import tariffs, an energy shock following the start of the US-Israeli war with Iran, and capital spending from the artificial intelligence boom has kept price pressures intense enough that the Fed felt it needed to raise its benchmark overnight interest rate by a quarter of a percentage point to the 3.75 to 4 per cent range, its first hike since 2023.
Oil prices fell on Wednesday (Sep 16) after reports that Saudi Arabia was offering additional crude cargoes through Oman eased some concerns about Middle East supply disruptions, while a smaller-than-expected draw in US crude inventories added further downward pressure. Brent crude futures fell US$2.92, or 2.7 per cent, to settle at US$105.83 a barrel. US West Texas Intermediate futures fell US$3.40, or 3.2 per cent, to close at US$102.43.
US retail sales rebounded more than expected in August as households stepped up purchases of motor vehicles and stocked up for the new school year, reinforcing the economy’s resilience even as consumers grow more anxious about high inflation. Retail sales jumped 1.2 per cent last month after a revised 0.5 per cent drop in July, which was the first decline in nine months.
