STOCKS NEWS SINGAPORE

22-06-2012 13:09:42

Singapore shares slid to a one-week low, in line with other Asian bourses as weak manufacturing data from the United States, Europe and China fuelled concerns over the global economy.

By 0442 GMT, the benchmark Straits Times Index <.FTSTI> was down 0.4 percent at 2,818.63 points, but recovering from an intraday low of 2,798.84.

Rig builder Sembcorp Marine Ltd was the largest loser on the index, retreating 2.2 percent to S$4.54 as weak oil prices also hurt sentiment. Larger rival Keppel Corp Ltd lost 1.5 percent at S$10.06.

Palm edges up on U.S. dry weather outlook

Published : Tuesday June 19, 2012 MYT 1:23:00 PM

(Malaysia Star)

Malaysian palm oil futures gained on Tuesday on expectations of higher demand as dry U.S. weather could damage the soybean crop further, tightening global edible oil supply. A victory by pro-bailout parties in the Greek polls over the weekend appears to have lessened the risk for a renewed financial crisis, sending palm oil futures to close just below the RM2,900-mark on Monday. But as optimism began to fade in financial markets, dry weather cues came into play as the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) said unfavourable weather had damaged soybean crop quality. "Prices should remain positive with the Greeks behind us. Dry weather in the U.S. Midwest also supports a bullish stance," said a trader with a local commodities brokerage in Malaysia.

Palm Oil

SINGAPORE, June 15 (Reuters)
- Malaysian palm oil futures closed slightly higher on Friday,
driven by rising exports and stronger global markets, although
gains were limited by jitters ahead of the Greek polls set for
this weekend. Investors took comfort in the news that major
central banks were preparing to take steps to stabilise financial
markets, providing support for palm oil prices.
