PHILLIP SUMMARY

TheS&P 500 was off 1.23%. The Dow Jones industrials fell 1.48%, and the Nasdaq Composite had given up 1.20%. The Nasdaq 100 index, reflecting Big Tech, dropped 1.1%. The Dow was off as many as 462 points before late-day bargain hunting kicked in.

The major averages have fallen about 5% from the peaks in late July. Long-term bond yields tumbled, with the spread between the 10-year and 2-year Treasury falling to as little as six basis points. The spread was the lowest since 2007. The 10-year yield fell to about 1.64%, the lowest level since October 2016.

Hong Kong’s airport reopened early Tuesday after thousands of protesters staged a mass demonstration that led to the cancellation of hundreds of flights. Investors and business leaders are growing increasingly alarmed by the fallout from 10 weeks of anti-government demonstrations that show no sign of letting up.


BREAKING NEWS

Singapore slashes economic growth forecast to 0-1% for 2019.

HRnetGroup on Tuesday posted a 11.5 per cent fall in net profit to S$11.5 million for the second quarter, from S$13 million a year ago on the back of lower margins from flexible staffing. Gross profits were slightly lower mainly due to the inclusion of government contracts which carry lower margins, the mainboard-listed recruitment firm said.

GS Holdings on Monday reported a net profit of S$5.49 million for its financial year’s first six months ended June 30, reversing from a S$1.24 million loss for the year-ago period.

Mainboard-listed consumer electronics part maker CDW Holding warned on Monday that it is likely to report a consolidated operating loss for the first six months of its financial year ended June 30, 2019.

Wall Street stocks finished a bruising session sharply lower Monday as worries about slowing growth and the protracted US-China trade war hit banking shares and the broader market.

An ETF is not like a typical unit trust as the units of the ETF (the “Units“) are to be listed and traded like any share on the Singapore Exchange Securities Trading Limited (“SGX-ST”).

Please refer to the Prospectus of the ETF for more details.  

Investments are subject to investment risks including the possible loss of the principal amount invested.
