SIA's rights shares, MCBs to hit market on a tailwind of positive sentiment
Minority shareholders of SIA are about to discover if they were right to shun its rights issue of MCBs
THIS week, shareholders of Singapore Airlines (SIA) will be able to begin trading their rights shares and 10-year mandatory convertible bonds (MCBs). And, by the looks of things, they should enjoy a strong tailwind of positive sentiment.
Markets around the world are in a sweet spot of sorts, buoyed by massive stimulus and news of economic activity re-starting. In particular, the United States Bureau of Labor Statistics said on Friday that the world's biggest economy regained some 2.5 million jobs in May.
This marked a sharp turnaround from April, when the US lost some 20.5 million jobs, and suggests that economic activity is recovering faster than expected.
