海峡时报指数周二中午上涨31点,涨幅0.7%,至4472点,再次创下历史新高,并连续第六个交易日上涨。一夜之间,华尔街的反弹提振了投资者情绪,人们乐观地认为,在谈判代表达成一项涉及降低美国关税和中国对稀土出口让步的框架后,美国和中国可能会在周四签署一项贸易协议。本周晚些时候和12月再次降息的押注也支撑了风险偏好。在当地,新加坡金融管理局在10月中旬保持其政策立场不变,指出尽管全球贸易逆风,经济仍保持弹性。尽管如此,在本周晚些时候新加坡最大贸易伙伴中国官方PMI数据公布之前,谨慎的态度限制了涨幅。生产制造业、加工业和商业服务业领涨,星展银行集团(1.3%)、吉宝有限公司(1.1%)、第一资源公司(3.7%)和新加坡航空公司(0.9%)涨幅显著。
The Straits Times Index rose 31 points, or 0.7%, to 4,472 around noon on Tuesday, revisiting a record high and extending gains for a sixth straight session. A rally on Wall Street overnight lifted investor sentiment, amid optimism that the U.S. and China could sign a trade deal Thursday after negotiators reached a framework involving lower U.S. tariffs and Chinese concessions on rare earth exports. Bets for further U.S. Fed rate cuts later this week and again in December also supported risk appetite. Locally, the Monetary Authority of Singapore kept its policy stance unchanged in mid-October, noting that the economy remains resilient despite global trade headwinds. Still, gains were capped by caution ahead of official PMI data in China, Singapore's top trading partner, later this week. Producer manufacturing, process industries, and commercial services led the gains, with notable rises from DBS Group (1.3%), Keppel Ltd. (1.1%), First Resources (3.7%), and Singapore Airlines (0.9%).
