WORLD Cup fever combined with an already meandering market took a toll on the total value of securities traded on the Singapore Exchange last month.

June's value of $20.5 billion was down a sharp 37 per cent from a year ago and down 12 per cent from May.

This translated to a daily average securities value of $978 million, a fall of 40 per cent year-on-year and 16 per cent month-on-month.
