Of Share Buybacks And Trade Impact On Emerging Markets

Trade development continues to provide the ongoing regional focus, with Asia mostly in the red for the year thus far. Geoff, Market Strategist with SGX in Singapore shares with us how he sees the Asian markets trading moving forward in the mid- to long-term. He also talks about what key investing themes he sees playing out for the rest of this year. We also discuss share buybacks in Singapore where for the first 12 sessions of August 2018, share buyback consideration had exceeded S$100 million. Another topic of conversation was the US dollar and emerging market currencies.
