Singapore AI Stocks Today: SGX Data Centre REITs, Singtel and Semiconductor Suppliers in Focus on 19 December 2025

The Business Times For investors scanning the Singapore Exchange (SGX) for “AI stocks”, the story is less about pure-play model developers and more about the companies that power, house, test, secure, and distribute AI compute: data centre REITs, telecom and cloud infrastructure, and semiconductor equipment and precision engineering names. And on a day when markets digested fresh signals about chip demand,

It was also about AI infrastructure (data centres, connectivity, energy) and AI-adjacent software—the parts of the market that typically move when global investors rotate in and out of high-growth themes.

NEW YORK — December 19, 2025 (US premarket): Semiconductor stocks are back in the driver’s seat Friday morning, with investors balancing two powerful (and competing) forces: Micron’s blowout AI-memory outlook, which is reinforcing the “AI infrastructure is still real” narrative, and fresh policy risk tied to Nvidia’s China business, after a Trump administration move to review potential shipments of an advanced AI chip to Chinese customers.

House Passes SPEED Act to Fast-Track Energy Projects as Senate Eyes Rewrite Amid Offshore Wind Clash and AI Power Crunch

WASHINGTON, Dec. 18, 2025 — The U.S. House on Thursday approved sweeping permitting legislation aimed at speeding federal reviews for major energy and infrastructure projects, sending a high-stakes overhaul of the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) to the Senate — where both parties are already signaling major changes.

Larry Page in the News (Dec. 18, 2025): Alphabet’s AI Rally, a $256 Billion Fortune, and Fresh Scrutiny in Palo Alto

Larry Page has spent most of the past decade doing what he appears to prefer: staying out of the spotlight while the company he co-founded—Google, now the core of Alphabet—reshapes how billions of people find information, buy products, and build software. But on December 18, 2025, Page is back in the headlines anyway, pulled forward by three forces that don’t require a public appearance: a renewed surge in Alphabet’s market value, a tightening ring of global regulation around Google’s platform power, and an unusually local flashpoint—Palo Alto’s growing backlash against billionaire “compounds,” where Page is singled out alongside other tech titans.

AI Stocks Today (Dec. 18, 2025): Nvidia, Microsoft, Broadcom and Micron Rebound as Inflation Cools and OpenAI’s Mega-Round Talk Raises the Stakes

Updated: Dec. 18, 2025 (4:15 PM EST) AI stocks ended Thursday with a sharp rebound after a bruising stretch that revived “AI bubble” fears across semiconductors and mega-cap tech. The day’s tone shift was driven by two things investors care about most right now: a cooler-than-expected inflation update (supportive for growth-stock valuations) and a blockbuster outlook from Micron that reinforced a simple message—AI infrastructure spending is still accelerating, and the supply chain is still tight. TradingView+2Reuters+2 By the close, Wall Street’s tech-heavy leadership reasserted itself. The S&P 500 rose 0.78% to 6,773.91, the Nasdaq Composite gained 1.37% to 23,004.92, and
