Daily Markets Briefing: STI down 1.56%

Find out which firms underperformed.

According to KGI Fraser, just as investors were turning bullish, the strong recovery over the past week that finally pushed the STI Index to close beyond 3000 points may prove to be a false dawn.

After a weak China trade data was reported yesterday morning, Singapore stocks fell across the board, KGI Fraser said.

Here’s more from KGI Fraser:

The biggest losers in the STI index included Noble Group, Sembcorp Industries and Genting as they partially ceded their strong recovery the previous week.

In the REIT space, investors were largely sidelined or took some profits, with only 2 notable gainers: SPH REIT as it posted results that reflected a full year growth in DPU in spite of a weak retail environment, and Ascendas REIT as the latest proposed Australian acquisition lifted sentiments.

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
