It's just lunch, weary remisiers say
Brokers largely indifferent to return of lunch break next week, saying it won't lift their long-suffering business
Singapore
THEY clamoured for its return for six long years, but when the Singapore Exchange (SGX) finally gave traders their lunch break back, few celebrated.
From Nov 13, the Singapore stock market will take a mid-day break from noon to 1pm, a shorter pause than the previous 12.30pm to 2pm lunch interval which the SGX scrapped in 2011 to much acrimony from retail brokers.
