Resale prices of non-landed private homes rose a slight 0.4% in August, compared to July, according to flash data released by the Singapore Real Estate Exchange (SRX). August's price gain was surprisingly led by properties in the city area and city fringe, which reported increases of 4.8% and 1.5%, respectively. In contrast, resale prices in the suburbs fell 1.1%. The market continues to expect an overall drop of 4-8% in the next 12 months, led by city-area condominiums.

China's imports unexpectedly fell for the second consecutive month in August, posting its worst performance in over a year. Imports fell 2.4% in August compared with a year ago, missing consensus estimate for a 1.7% rise. In contrast, China's exports were surprisingly buoyant in August amid stronger global demand. They jumped 9.4% yo-y to beat a forecast rise of 8%, although the growth rate slowed from 14.5% in July. That pushed the trade surplus to an unexpected all-time high of US$49.8 billion, which could put further appreciation pressure on the yuan.
