    SHARES of Cogent Holdings surged by as much as 12 per cent on Monday to 70.5 Singapore cents, prompting a trading query by Singapore Exchange (SGX) at noon.

    The mainboard-listed logistics company opened at 64 Singapore cents on Monday, and climbed to 70.5 Singapore cents just before noon. By 2.25 pm, over 1.57 million shares had changed hands, and Cogent was trading at 69 Singapore cents.
