technology stock index to make a sharp comeback.</p><p>But with the first half of 2023 over, the NASDAQ Composite Index has posted its best first-half performance in the last four decades.</p><p>The index gained more than 31% with the top 100 stocks within the index advancing by the largest first-half gain on record at 39%.</p><p>In addition, the most valuable company in the world, <strong>Apple</strong> (NASDAQ: AAPL), also saw its market capitalisation cross the US$3 trillion threshold convincingly.</p><p>The performance came as a surprise as the US Federal Reserve remained hawkish as it warned that more interest rate hikes were necessary to combat inflation and bring it down to its target of 2%.</p><h2><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/U14.SI\">UOL Group

for S$525 million.</p><p>The hotel has 542 rooms and is located near Mustafa Centre and City Square Mall and is linked to the Farrer Park MRT Station.</p><p>Carolyn Choo, the CEO of Midtown Properties, says that the hotel will be rebranded and launched after the purchase is completed by the fourth quarter of this year.</p><p>This disposal allows UOL Group to unlock the value of its investment in the hotel and the property development outfit will recognise a gain of approximately S$446.2 million.</p><p>The sale price is also 24.1% higher than the independent valuation of S$423 million as of 31 December 2022.</p><p>On a pro-forma basis, this sale will lift UOL Group’s net tangible asset per share by 4.2% to S$13.08 while 2022’s earnings per share will nearly double from

hours of Threads’ launch on July 6, Meta’s CEO Mark Zuckerberg said that the app had seen 10 million sign-ups.</p><p>After a full day had passed, the number of sign-ups tripled to 30 million, posing a challenge to Twitter.</p><p>Threads has an advantage in that it is connected to Instagram, another one of Meta’s products, allowing users to instantly fill the Threads app with people they are interested in following.</p><p>Elon Musk is not pleased with this development and is now threatening legal action, claiming that Threads has violated Twitter’s “intellectual property rights”.</p><p>Twitter claims that Meta had poached its ex-employees and assigned them to design a copycat app using the former’s trade secrets and other intellectual property.</p><p>It will be

7.3%, according to flash estimates from real estate portal SRX and property agency 99.co.</p><p>Transaction volume, however, took a dip to 1,858 in June from 2,260 in May.</p><p>Volume was also 13% lower than June 2022’s transactions and <strong>PropNex</strong> (SGX: OYY) CEO Ismail Gafoor attributed this to price resistance setting in among buyers.</p><p>A bumper crop of 13,000 HDB Built-to-Order (BTO) flats will be offered for sale in the second half of 2023, diverting attention away from the resale market.</p><p>These flats are located in estates such as Queenstown, Bedok, Bishan, Tengah, and Woodlands, among others.</p><p>HDB remains on track to launch a total of 100,000 flats from 2021 to 2025, and this should help to ease the lack of supply.</p><p>With the increase in BTO numbers, Hutton Asia’s CEO Mark Yip expects HDB resale prices to moderate and increase by less than 5% for this year.</p></body></html>","source":"thesmartinvestor_highlight","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html; charset=utf-8\" />\n<meta
