SGX said medical and tech firms were the top manufacturing stocks in the past week.

Specifically, NIO Inc. reported an 18% gain in the previous week, with the tradability of the stock generating nearly 20% weekly trading ranges since its debut on 20 May. 

“NIO Inc’s stock has seen average intraday swings in the vicinity of 660 basis points (bps) between its day-high and day-lows over the past 26 sessions, with the widest trading range of 1135 bps on 20 June and the narrowest range on 28 May at 171 bps (excluding the debut session),” SGX said.

Medical firms of Singapore’s manufacturing-related stocks logged gains amidst the government’s surveillance on the BA.4 and BA.5 variants as well as the average daily global cases that crossed above the 600,000 cases on Thursday, up from the 466,000 low on 30 May.

“This saw Riverstone Holdings and Top Glove Corp Bhd average 6% returns for the week. Catalist listings, UG Healthcare Corp and Medtecs International Corp, which in the year-to-date rank outside the most 20 trading manufacturing related stocks, averaged 8% gains for the week,” the bourse explained.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

If you've been wondering whether SBR could work for your company — yes, probably.

A lot of the companies we partner with started as readers. They'd been following our coverage for a while, saw their own customers and competitors in it, and eventually asked the obvious question: could we do something with you? The answer is usually yes. The shape of it depends on what you're trying to do.


The options are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. Some partners use one channel; most use a mix. We figure out the right combination by starting with your brief, not with our rate card.


So if the question has been on your mind, here's the easy way to ask it.

We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how. It's a better use of everyone's time.
