DBS quarterly results trounce forecasts, another record year expected
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.

Starbucks shares hit two-year low as China, US demand clouds outlook
Shares of Starbucks fell 15% to their lowest in nearly two years on Wednesday, after the coffee chain cut annual forecasts on persistent weak demand from inflation-weary U.S. customers and a slower-than-expected economic recovery in China. Price hikes taken last year have forced customers to ditch cafes and restaurants and instead drink coffee at home, hurting business for chains such as Starbucks. "The inability to stop the traffic leakage from the early signs of pull-back in November to date and the worsening macro and competitive dynamics in China may suggest prolonged challenges and no evidence of light at the end of the tunnel," Danilo Gargiulo, senior analyst at Bernstein, wrote in a note.

Analysis-Powell's soothing tone may not be enough for inflation-spooked markets
Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell's reassuring message following the central bank’s monetary policy meeting may not calm frazzled U.S. stock and bond investors, as uncertainty over the path of inflation intensifies the focus on upcoming data. Though Powell on Wednesday acknowledged a lack of recent progress in the Fed’s battle against rising consumer prices, he reiterated the view that interest rates are likely headed lower this year. That was a relief for those worried the Fed could be eyeing more rate increases after three straight months of stronger-than-expected inflation.
