Which stocks generated most gains in the first half?

The top 10 constituents of the FTSE ST All-Share Index had a combined turnover close to $40m daily.

Ten constituents of the FTSE ST All-Share Index generated the highest gains in the first half of the year, along with the highest intra-day trading ranges in terms of basis points. The FTSE ST All-Share Index includes stocks in the Straits Times Index (STI) and a number of mid-cap and small-cap stocks.

These are Golden Agri-Res, HPH Trust USD, Thomson Medical, First REIT, China Everbright, COSCO SHP SG, Riverstone, Hong Leong Asia, Frencken, and UMS.

These stocks have a combined turnover close of approximately $40m daily, with 356 basis points in median daily trading wages.

Top buyers for these stocks are industry and propriety traders, with net inflows of $141m, whilst retail were net sellers with $138m outflows. Market makers made up the $2m difference.

Golden Agri-Res, the most tradable constituent of the index, maintained daily trading ranges of 430 basis points, averaging $1.2m on the best bid and best offer prices. It generated a 47% return in the first half of the year.

“As economies draw closer to normalisation in [the second half of 2021], rotations and interest in active, short-term trading is expected to continue as investors look to more macroeconomic cues, in addition to progress on containing COVID-19. This means stock tradability will continue to be relevant, which in this context is simply referring to stocks with a history of greater intra-day trading ranges, which can bring greater market risk,” the SGX said in a report.

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.
