THE value of members of the Singapore bourse edged up three per cent in November, shrugging off nerves over the US-China trade-war tension, even as the world holds its breath for Saturday's crucial G-20 meeting between US President Donald Trump and China's Xi Jinping.

The total market capitalisation of the 731 Singapore-listed counters was S$905.5 billion at end-November, up from S$878.7 billion for 736 counters in October. Large gains in banking and real estate stocks offset the losses among agriculture, industrial and transport counters.
