Singapore's Small, Mid-Cap Stocks Likely Helped by Softer USD, Attractive Valuations -- Market Talk

Dow Jones01-16

0658 GMT - Singapore's small and mid-cap stocks are likely to benefit from several tailwinds, including a softer U.S. dollar, OCBC Group Research analysts write in a report. These stocks' performance would be driven by ongoing government measures for the equity market. The Equities Market Review Group allocated S$3.95 billion across nine asset managers, with a third tranche of appointments slated for 2Q. The move will spur fund managers to partly develop new products to broaden investor interest and participate in Singapore equities, especially small and mid-cap stocks. Valuations also remain attractive, compared to large-caps on a price-to-book basis.(amanda.lee@wsj.com)
