Singapore stock market sees $506m net institutional outflows in August

The net institutional outflows were led by the financial and industrial sectors.

The Singapore stock market recorded a $506m net institutional outflow from local stocks in early August, mainly driven by the financial and industrial sectors.

In the same period, the utilities sector recorded $7.1m of net institutional inflow, with Sembcorp Industries accounting for the majority of the sector flow.

Sembcorp Industries posted a net profit of $532m in H1 2024, with its gas and related services portfolio providing high earnings visibility.

In addition, STI declined 3.5%, “with dividend distributions marginally reducing the decline in total return to 3.4%.”

The decline was due to the global cross-asset repositioning that coincided with the Bank of Japan’s rate hike, along with concerns about U.S. growth, and the recent rotation from U.S. technology stocks.

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.
