The rise and fall of DBS on Danamon news
Opening on a two-week high of $13.65 on the back Danamon's earnings announcement, DBS' shares were sold down later in the day to eventually close 0.2% in the red and finish as one of the day's index laggards at $13.51.

Danamon is the subject of DBS' takeover interest following the latter's announcement on April 2 of a US$7.2bn stake bid. Danamon had on April 17 said that its first-quarter profit rose 18% to US$98mn on higher demand for credit.

Bank Indonesia also said last week it will seek talks on reciprocity with Singapore as a condition for the central bank's approval of DBS's bid. They are requesting for equal treatment for Indonesian
banks to operate in Singapore.
