WHILE the trade tiff between the US and China dominated headlines all of last week, domestic factors may just steal the limelight this week.
In Singapore, all eyes will be on the release of the advance first quarter gross domestic product (GDP) figure and the semi-annual monetary policy statement by the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) on Friday.
