Market Update: Singapore shares start trading week with a recovery, up by 0.35%

The Straits Times Index closed up by 10.78 points or 0.35% on Monday trade, ending at 3,106.00. The aviation-related counters led the gains for the day.

About 2.15-billion securities worth S$1.33-billion changed hands with advancers outnumbering stock losers, 268 to 223.

Top performers for the day were SIA with 6.23% or S$0.33 in gains, SATS up by 3.43% or S$0.15, and YZJ Shipbuilding which went higher by about 2.50% or S$0.03.

Most Asian stocks traded mixed as some degree of rotation from tech to cyclical recovery stocks s evident.

Meanwhile on Wall Street, most US stocks went higher as investors struggled to balance economic optimism against steadily rising Treasury yields.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

The people you want to reach are already in this room.

Every quarter, SBR lands on the desks of the founders, CFOs, and directors running Asia's most consequential companies. Every day, they open our newsletter and read our website. It's a room that took twenty years to build — and it's the one most of our partners are trying to get into.

The good news is that the door is open. We work with companies on thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The shape of the right partnership depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.


If you have something this room should know about, tell us. We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.
