Description
Summary:The objective of this report is to study and analyze the performance of securities listed on the Singapore stock exchange. Performance of the various industries was examined and two sectors were narrowed down for more in-depth investigation and discussion. This study focuses on the factors influencing stock performance and assesses how significant events in the history of time may have affected it. Our findings have showed that both banking and real estate industries are greatly affected by changes in government regulations and global happenings. This is because both industries are heavily regulated by Singapore government and our vast trading ties with other countries have made us vulnerable to global events. Hence, it is crucial for investors to be updated with the developments of government regulations in these 2 industries as changes would have significant impact on stock prices of the firms.
