[SINGAPORE] Singapore-headquartered tech giants Grab and Sea – both listed in the United States – have not been spared amid a wider market sell-off sparked by “reciprocal tariffs” announced by US President Donald Trump on Apr 2.
Since the announcement, Grab has tumbled some 19 per cent to US$3.73 as at Apr 8 and Sea has shed about 21.5 per cent to US$105.57.
But analysts are confident that they will emerge as winners amid Trump’s tsunami of tariffs.
