Market News In 2 Minutes @ 30th December 2014

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. Keppel Corporation (BN4) - Its unit, Keppel Offshore & Marine has secured a more than US$100 million contract to build one of the world’s largest land drilling rigs for a major operator. The drilling rig is scheduled for delivery in mid-2016. (source : Shares Investment)
