Olam, Frencken lead most traded stocks rally in August

DBS, Singtel, and OCBC are the most traded stocks for the first eight months of the year.

Olam, Frencken, and Yangzijiang Shipbuilding are the top three most traded stocks during the ghost month, data from SGX showed.

This was followed by First Resources, UMS, Yinda Infocomm, Sarine Tech, Yanlord Land, AEM, and ESR-REIT.

Olam and First Resources had total returns of 24.4% and 8.1%, respectively, driven by high global commodity prices in the agricultural sector.

“The strength in agricultural stocks has been on the back of a rise in global commodity prices in August, with Malaysia crude palm oil futures trading at major highs in August, bringing its year to date price gain to 18%. Raw cane sugar futures also returned to February 2017 highs,” the SGX said.

Meanwhile, it attributed the strength of Yangzijiang Shipbuilding to the re-opening of the Ningbo-Zhoushan port that month.

Yinda Infocomm, Sarine Technologies, and Yanlord Land also posted strong revenue in August.

The top ten most traded stocks for the first eight months of 2021 are DBS, Singtel, UOB, OCBC Bank, Yangzijiang Shipbuilding, Singapore Airlines, Wilmar International, Ascendas REIT, CapitaLand Integrated Commercial Trust, and CapitaLand.

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.
