Straits Times Index 2,768.33 -0.61% -17.10 
Singapore shares close lower for fourth straight session on Brexit worries AN uneasy calm descended upon the local stock market on Tuesday with traders hesitant to commit themselves ahead of the US Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) meeting this week and next week' s UK referendum on continued membership in the European Union. Turnover, which has already been poor over the past few weeks, remained low at 949 million units worth S $ 815.4 million, of which S $ 578 million or 71 per cent came from the 30 Straits Times Index (STI) components. The STI in the meantime , sank to a 17.1 points loss at 2,768.33, its fourth consecutive fall after five successive rises. In this regard it was most probably influenced by movements in the Dow futures - after an early rise, the contract dipped 60 points into the red in afternoon trading. With the index weak, the broad market followed suit, recording 138 rises versus 224 falls excluding warrants. The average value per unit traded was S $ 0.86, suggesting low-priced issues were the main trading targets. A glance at the top 20 actives confirmed this , with 19 priced below S $ 1 and 10 below S $ 0.10.

European stocks slide ahead of Fed meeting, Brexit fears weigh European stocks traded lower on Tuesday as investors waver ahead of a two-day meeting of the U.S. Federal Reserve and global concerns over a Brexit weigh on sentiment. Amid the risk-off sentiment in markets, investors have been parking their money in safe-haven assets. The German 10-year bund fell to zero for the first time. If it falls below, it would mean that investors would be paying the government in order to hold its bonds. Global markets are shaky ahead of two crucial monetary policy decisions this week. On Tuesday, the US Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) begins a two-day meeting. Expectations are for the bank to stand pat on interest rates following gloomy jobs data and rising concerns over the possibility of a Brexit, should the UK vote to leave the European Union (EU) in a referendum on June 23. At the same time, the Bank of England are meeting later this week and while there is not much expectation for a decision on interest rates, some market participants feel the next move could be lower for U.K. rates. Meanwhile in Asia, the Bank of Japan (BOJ) is scheduled to meet on June 15. Asia markets traded mixed on Tuesday, with Japanese and South Korean stocks extending Monday' s losses. A number of other factors are also weighing on markets. Recent weak data out of China, the possibility of a British exit from the European Union (EU) and concerns over the health of the global economy are all hitting investment sentiment. Banking stocks suffered the fallout from low yields. Dow future down 62 points. European Indexes

Asia markets set to open mixed, following US losses Asia markets are set to extend losses on Tuesday, following a lower finish in U.S. stocks as investors looked ahead to central bank meetings in the U.S. and Japan. The U.S. Federal Open Market Committee will begin its two-day meeting starting on Tuesday. Kit Juckes, global fixed income strategist at Societe Generale, said in a note Monday the market did not expect the Fed to raise rates. " The challenge for the Fed is how to continue laying the groundwork for an eventual hike if the data bounce back from the disappointment of May payrolls, against the backdrop of nervous markets," he said. The Bank of Japan starts its two-day meeting on Wednesday, June 15. In the U.K., two new polls showed public opinion over a Brexit remained divided. An ORB poll for the Telegraph showed 48 percent of Britons would vote to remain in the European Union, while 49 percent would vote to leave. A YouGov poll for the Times of London showed 46 percent preferred to leave, while 39 percent wanted to remain. Popular British newspaper The Sun also endorsed the leave vote for the upcoming referendum vote on June 23. Asian Indexes

Dow closes down triple digits as Brexit fears weigh U.S. stocks closed lower Monday, as investors looked ahead to the week' s scheduled Fed meeting and the upcoming U.K. vote on whether to leave the European Union. The latest Brexit poll, released midday ET Monday by The Guardian, showed a gain in the " leave" camp over the " remain." " The unknown is really again creating that anxiety right now," said Daniel Deming, managing director at KKM Financial. " There' s no reason to see implied volatility jumping like it is when realized volatility is very subdued." " All these polls continue to roll out. The probability of them leaving has increased and that creates more uncertainty than them staying," he said. The Dow Jones industrial average closed near session lows, off about 132 points. U.S. crude oil futures settled down 19 cents, or 0.39 percent, at $ 48.88 a barrel. The week' s scheduled Federal Reserve meeting comes ahead of the U.K. vote on June 23 on whether to leave the European Union. Read more..... |

Straits Times Index 2,785.43 -1.33% -37.54
Singapore shares close lower on Brexit worries FOOTBALL supporters on Monday were shocked by a " Braxit" when Brazil unexpectedly exited the Copa America tournament being held in the US after a defeat to Peru, while in Asia, stock market players were shocked by worries of a " Brexit" that sent equity prices reeling throughout the day. With the Hang Seng Index dropping 2.5 per cent and the Nikkei plunging 3.5 per cent, the Straits Times Index (STI) stood little chance, losing 37.54 points or 1.3 per cent at 2,785.43 in thin volume of 1.6 billion units worth S $ 900.7 million. Of this S $ 669 million or 74 per cent was done in the 30 STI components and excluding warrants, there were 101 rises versus 317 falls throughout. Britain votes on June 23 on the divisive issue of whether to remain in the European Union or to exit it. Opinions polls on " Brexit" are divided and suggest the final outcome, which will be known towards the end of next week, will be close . In the currency market on Monday, the UK pound fell following suggestions that the " leave" camp had a marginal lead at the end of last week, a fall that observers said helped prompt selling of stocks and the buying of the Japanese yen and various government bonds. Here, shares of the three banks took a beating and their falls were the largest contributors towards the STI' s loss. Not far behind were slides in Singtel, Keppel Corp and CapitaLand. |

Asia markets tumble, STI down on global outlook Japanese stocks led a plunge in Asian markets Monday, tracking a sell-off in the US and Europe on renewed worries about the global economy and uncertainty over Britain' s future in the European Union. The Straits Times Index had shed 1.46 per cent or 41.35 points to 2,781.62 as at 4.38pm. Investors extended the selling that saw shares tumble at the end of last week on concern that central banks' arsenals are running low in their battle to kickstart growth. And with next week' s referendum on whether Britain should stay in the EU on a knife-edge, analysts said traders were rushing to safe-haven investments such as the yen.

Oil prices sank for a third straight session, with both main contracts down more than one percent on fears over the global economy and after US producers reopened more rigs. |

Asia stocks plummet, STI down 1.5% as risk aversion grips markets Asian stocks fell the most in more than four months and the Japanese yen jumped on Monday as risky assets took a hammering before key central bank meetings this week, and while investors await Britain' s stay-or-go referendum on European Union membership. Further sapping confidence over recent days has been a steady drip of economic data that has highlighted an underpowered world economy despite years of heavy stimulus delivered by central banks. Meanwhile, European shares are set to open lower with spreadbetters expecting Britain' s FTSE 100 to open down 0.4 per cent, Germany' s DAX to slip 0.8 per cent, and France' s CAC 40 to fall 0.9 per cen The US Federal Reserve, Bank of England, Swiss National Bank and the Bank of Japan will meet this week. All are expected to hold monetary policy steady against a backdrop of caution heightened by the global impact of a possible Brexit. Japanese stocks led regional losses with the benchmark index falling 3.2 per cent in choppy trade. Crude oil futures extended losses after falling 3 per cent on Friday, pressured by the stronger US dollar and data showing the US oil drilling rig count rose for the second week in row. US crude futures fell 1.1 per cent to US $ 48.51 a barrel, while Brent slipped one per cent to US $ 50.03. Asian Indexes
