The establishment of the $5 billion Equity Market Development Programme (EQDP) for fund managers to invest in Singapore-listed equities, has garnered significant attention from market participants, and understandably so.
Announced as part of a broad suite of measures under the Monetary Authority of Singapore’s (MAS) Equities Market Review Group, the funding is a strong signal of the intent to revitalise and invigorate Singapore’s equities market and will likely attract major fund management players.
Boosting trading liquidity in Singapore’s stock market remains very much a work in progress. Market makers and liquidity providers concede that their hands are tied. What more can be done?
If James Leong had his way, buying and selling shares in Singapore would be much cheaper than what it is now, more companies listed here would have larger free floats, and legitimate market making would be customary across the bourse.
Amid the wider wild swings of global markets, Jonathan Koh of UOB Kay Hian maintains his positive outlook for Singapore-listed data centre REITs. Besides keeping his “overweight” sector call, Koh has also kept his “buy” call and respective target prices for Keppel DC REIT, Mapletree Industrial Trust Me8u and Digital Core REIT.
UOB Kay Hian analyst Adrian Loh has raised his target price on Centurion Corporation Ou8 to $1.48 from $1.16. The stock is deemed a “safe harbour” amid US President Donald Trump’s “tragic tariffs”.
“Centurion remains a key stock for investors in turbulent times, in our view,” Loh writes in his April 14 report.
