top stock market highlights.</p><h3>HDB resale prices</h3><p>HDB resale prices have continued climbing, demonstrating their resilience in an economy marked by high inflation and surging interest rates.</p><p>Prices inched up 1.4% in January compared with December last year, based on flash estimates released by StreetSine Technology Group (SRX) and 99.co.</p><p>Though this quantum may seem low, it was still higher than the 0.2% month-on-month increase in December and the 0.6% month-on-month increase logged in November.</p><p>More HDB flats also transacted above the S$1 million mark last month, coming in at 40 compared with 28 in December.</p><p>Transaction volumes have also climbed, with 2,575 resale flats changing hands, up 14.9% year on year.</p><p>On a year-on-year basis, prices rose 8.7% while transaction volumes increased by 5.4%.</p><p>These numbers were surprising, considering the government had imposed new property cooling measures back in September last year.</p><p>Private homeowners who sell their flats need to wait for 15 months before they can purchase an HDB resale flat.</p><p>One possible reason for this resilience is that HDB upgraders who find private condominiums too expensive and are looking for larger spaces may go for HDB resale flats instead.</p><p>It remains to be seen if these numbers can hold up for the remainder of this year.</p><p>But if they do, real estate brokerages APAC Realty (SGX: CLN) and PropNex (SGX: OYY) could see healthy business volumes for 2023.</p><h3>Temasek Holdings</h3><p>Meanwhile, Temasek Holdings is raising funds through the issuance of bonds.</p><p>The investment firm is issuing two tranches of bonds comprising four and 10-year Euro-denominated bonds through its wholly-owned subsidiary Temasek Financial (I).</p><p>Aptly named T2027-EUR and T2033-EUR, these bonds will be issued under Temasek subsidiary’s US$25 billion guaranteed global medium note programme.</p><p>Temasek has been assigned a corporate credit rating of Aaa by Moody’s and AAA by S&amp;P Global Ratings, a testament to the firm’s high credit standing.</p><p>These bonds will be listed on Singapore Exchange Limited (SGX: S68) and the net proceeds will be used to fund ordinary business activities.</p><p>The four-year bond offers a coupon rate of 3.25% per annum and the 10-year bond is priced at 3.5% per annum.</p><p>Listing for both bonds is expected to take place on 16 February.</p><p>Investors who wish to diversify their portfolio holdings away from shares can consider buying these bonds from the market.</p><h3><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/MSFT\">Microsoft</a></h3><p>Software giant Microsoft is bullish on incorporating artificial intelligence (AI) into its search engine</p><p>CEO Satya Nadella gushed about AI-powered search in a recent interview with the news channel CNBC.</p><p>According to him, such enhanced search capabilities are the biggest thing to happen to Microsoft in the last 15 years since cloud infrastructure was first pioneered.</p><p>The Redmond-based company is incorporating AI into its Bing search engine and Edge browser, and Nadella commented that this

OpenAI.</p><p>This new investment phase, its third, looks set to accelerate the development of AI and help to commercialise more advanced technologies.</p><p>ChatGPT took the world by storm as one of
