As stock investors (even though a small one), it is important to keep abreast with the latest financial and market news. Since I am in it, I thought it might be worthwhile to share it out with my readers too.Hence, I started this "Market News In 2 Minutes" series.
Following are the "Market News In 2 Minutes" for today :
1. Singapore’s 1Q14 Gross Domestic Product (GDP) grew 4.9 percent on a year-on-year basis, led by a 9.8 percent expansion in the manufacturing sector. The figure was marginally lower than the government’s initial estimate of 5.1 percent and the median estimate of 5.5 percent by 10 economists polled by Thomson Reuters. (source : Shares Investment)
