Union Steel - buys offshore engineering firm for S$15m
Union Steel Holdings has inked a deal to pay S$15m to acquire a loss-making group that provides products and engineering services to the offshore and marine industry.
GS Holdings - wins new contract with Suntec Singapore
GS Holdings, an established centralised commercial dishware washing company, was awarded a contract with a total annualised revenue of up to S$1.2m from Suntec Singapore Convention & Exhibition Centre, marking the Group's entry into Singapore's thriving Meetings, Incentive Travel, Conventions & Exhibitions ("MICE") industry. The two-year contract, which carries an additional one-year option, will commence on 1 June 2016. Order book is lifted to S$21.3m with this contract.
April's NODX fell 7.9% y-o-y
Singapore's non-oil domestic exports (NODX) continued to tumble in April from a year ago. Last month's NODX fell 7.9% y-o-y - not as bad as the 8.4% decline consensus was looking at, or March's 15.7% plunge. Month-on-month, the NODX rose a seasonally adjusted 4.5% to extend the 0.1% increase a month earlier. After sinking 30.9% in March, pharmaceutical shipments bounced back with a 17.9% jump last month. But the overall non-electronic NODX still slipped 8.1% in April, following an 18% fall in the previous month. Electronic NODX fell 7.4%, against a 9.1% drop in March. Taiwan, South Korea and Indonesia were the biggest contributors to the NODX decline last month.
US stocks fall as rate hike concerns returned
US stocks fell, given back gains in the previous session after comments by FED officials stroked concerns that rates may be raised as soon as June. On Tuesday, Atlanta Fed President Dennis Lockhart and San Francisco's John Williams said two rate increases this year may be warranted while Dallas Fed President Robert Kaplan said a hike may come soon. Consensus expectation is for the FED to keep rates unchanged at the June FOMC meeting. Attention will be on the April FOMC meeting minutes scheduled for release tonight.
