SINGAPORE (Reuters) -Singapore's biggest bank DBS Group reported on Thursday first-quarter results that trumped expectations with broad-based growth and said it expects net profit to exceed last year's record result. Underpinned by robust business momentum as loans grew and both fee income and treasury customer sales reached new highs, net profit jumped 15% from the same period a year earlier to S$2.96 billion ($2.2 billion), beating market expectations for a 3.5% decline. Guidance that net profit would grow this year was more upbeat than in the previous quarter when DBS said only that it expected this year's net interest income to be around 2023 levels.
STORY: Elon Musk looks to be doing more layoffs at Tesla. Reports by The Information on Tuesday (April 30) say he’s fired two top executives, and plans to get rid of hundreds more workers. Musk is said to be frustrated by falling sales, and the pace of earlier job cuts. The story quotes an email said to be from Musk. In it he says, “these actions are making it clear that we need to be absolutely hard core about headcount”. In an apparent warning to managers, he says “while some on exec staff are taking this seriously, most are not yet doing so”. There was no immediate response to a Reuters request for comment. It all follows a move earlier this month to shed some 10% of the company’s workforce. Tesla is grappling with falling sales and an intensifying price war which it started. Reporting earnings last week, it said all that led to its first quarterly drop in revenue since 2020. Musk this weekend made a surprise visit to China, the epicenter of the price battle. There he made progress on rolling out the brand’s advanced driver assistance features in the country. However, Tesla faces fierce competition from local makers like BYD in what is now the world’s biggest car market.

Fed day arrives with the focus on what clues Powell will offer to the chances for rate cuts this year.
Japan will likely keep intervening to prop up the yen until the risk of speculators triggering a free fall in the currency has been eliminated, said a former central bank official who was involved in Tokyo's market forays a decade ago. The yen jumped on Thursday on what traders suspect was the second day of intervention following such action on Monday to stem the currency's sharp declines. Japan's Ministry of Finance has declined to confirm whether it had stepped in, leaving markets on edge over the chance of another bout of intervention.
The cryptocurrency is now trading below the average spot ETF purchase price of about $58K, and this could trigger liquidations, the report said.
The US Federal Reserve on Wednesday held interest rates steady for a sixth straight meeting, keeping the level at a 23-year high to fight stubborn price increases.For months, the US central bank has held its benchmark lending rate at a high level to cool demand and rein in price increases -- with a slowdown in inflation last year fueling optimism that the first cuts were on the horizon.
STORY: The Japanese yen surged against the dollar in the early hours of Thursday. Traders said it looked like another round of intervention by Tokyo authorities to prop up the ailing currency. The dollar fell to 153 against the yen, from over 157 earlier, though it later clawed back much of the losses. It comes after the Japanese currency slid to multi-decade lows against the greenback. Speaking earlier in the week there was a hint of action from Vice Finance Minister Masato Kanda, who overseas yen policy: “The extreme and abnormal fluctuation caused by speculation and its negative impact on the national economy cannot be overlooked. Therefore, we would like to continue to take appropriate actions when necessary.”On Thursday there was no confirmation from the government that intervention had taken place. However, it’s thought a similar move also happened on Monday. Money market data the following day suggest Japan’s finance ministry spent $35 billion propping up the currency. The yen has been pummelled by factors including Japan’s very low interest rates compared to the U.S. Though the Bank of Japan did finally do a hike in March, a gulf remains. That’s likely to remain the case for some time, with stubbornly high inflation in the U.S. seen delaying rate cuts by the Federal Reserve. Such factors have seen the yen fall around 10% versus the dollar just this year.
