PROPERTY stocks and financials took a hammering on Friday as news broke the night before of the government hiking additional buyer's stamp duty (ABSD) and tightening mortgages.
As at Friday's close, share prices swam in a sea of red, with research houses cutting ratings for stocks under their coverage. CapitaLand, the largest developer by market cap, ended the day nearly six per cent down to S$2.99, a level it last closed at on December 2016.
