FRESH off the Good Friday holiday, the Singapore market returns to trading with a slew of economic data releases and key Straits Times Index (STI) constituents reporting their earnings on the horizon.
While most international markets were closed on Friday, it was business as usual for Japan and China. Despite trading lacking direction and liquidity being low, their markets managed to register gains.
In Japan, the benchmark Nikkei 225 index added 0.5 per cent, or 110.44 points, to 22,200.56, while the broader Topix index climbed 0.12 per cent, or 1.96 points, to 1,616.93.
