    CONSUMER counters and those capitalising on China’s reopening were the top performers in December, but the last month of the year registered a 0.4 per cent dip in market capitalisation for Singapore stocks to S$827.1 billion.

    Jardine Matheson Holdings (JMH) , Hongkong Land and their sister stock DFI Retail Group took three positions in the top 10 gainers tally for December, with JMH’s market value jumping S$1.6 billion to S$51.8 billion.

    Paul Chew, head of research at Phillip Securities, said market direction for December was dictated by the relaxation of pandemic restrictions by mainland China and Hong Kong.
