Not yet confirmed against a primary source

  • Bloomberg.com headline references energy as a driver. Theedgesingapore.com's original headline included 'on energy' but this was removed in an edit. Verify whether body text (if retrievable) in either outlet specifically attributed the surge to energy costs, to determine if the edit reflected a factual correction or a reframing.
