Singapore stocks take a beating amidst fears of a US recession

NOL’s shares, for instance, plunged 5.3%.

A Reuters report said, “Singapore stocks that were largely exposed to the global economy and trade flows were among the hardest-hit.”

Most Southeast Asian stock markets dropped on Monday following the release of bleak US employment data. The United States failed to create any jobs in August for the first time in almost a year.

“Singapore was among Asian countries with a higher share of exports to Western countries, that could be hurt if the United States or European economies continued to slow,” noted the report.

Meanwhile Singapore shares may open lower on Tuesday amidst renewed concerns about Europe's debt woes.

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.
