Why does the ICE agent shooting Minneapolis matter to markets?

It adds headline risk. New footage, jurisdiction disputes, and political comments can shift sentiment fast. That can widen intraday swings, tighten liquidity, and change sector skews. Even without earnings news, traders adjust exposure when legal or policy outcomes look uncertain or polarizing.

Which S&P 500 levels are important right now?

We track 6978 as year high resistance, the Bollinger middle near 6866 as a pivot, and 6752 as the lower band. The latest price is 6902.04 with RSI 57.52. A strong break above 6978 needs volume and breadth. Slips below 6866 raise risk of momentum cooling.

How should Singapore investors handle USD risk today?

Keep partial SGD cash, stagger entries, and consider available USD/SGD hedges if suitable. Avoid concentrated buys during headline spikes. Review stop levels and size positions using ATR so shocks from the U.S. legal story do not overweigh SGD-denominated portfolios or long-term plans.

What could change the headline risk in coming days?

Verified releases of evidence, formal statements from investigators, or policy proposals can shift tone. Clear timelines tend to calm markets. Conflicting messages or surprise footage can do the opposite. Watch volume versus its average and ATR for signals that risk appetite is improving or fading.
