Singapore shares rise for the first time in a week: Reuters
Singapore shares rose on Tuesday for the first time in a week, in line with regional peers, though the U.S. government shutdown, now in its second week, weighed on the market and kept investors on tenterhooks.
The benchmark Straits Times Index rose 0.3 percent to 3,147.62 points, in line with a 0.2 percent gain in MSCI's broadest index of Asia-Pacific shares outside Japan. ...
" Our view that STI at 3,100 offers bargain-hunt opportunities on the presumption that US does not go into default stays valid," said analysts at DBS Vickers Securities.
The top two performers on the index included Jardine Cycle & Carriage Ltd, whose shares rose over 3 percent, and Global Logistic Properties Ltd, which gained more than 2 percent.
Blumont Group Ltd shares, which tumbled 85 percent after the Singapore Exchange lifted a trading suspension on Monday, jumped 62 percent to S$0.21, after the company named a new chairman.
Steel trader and manufacturer Albedo Ltd rose 40 percent to S$0.042, after the company announced more details on a S$774 million takeover by a company controlled by Malaysian businessman Danny Tan in a deal that will see Albedo join international property developers buying up land in Malaysia's Iskandar region.

China services industry growth slows in Sept- HSBC PMI: Reuters
Growth in China's services industry slowed in September and optimism over the business outlook weakened, a private survey showed on Tuesday, indicating that the nascent recovery in the world's No.2 economy is likely to remain a slow one.
The Markit/HSBC services PMI for September dipped to 52.4 from August's 52.8, still well above the 50 line that separates expansion from contraction. A rise in new business offset a decline in new orders, the survey said. ...
The reading is in contrast to China's official services PMI, released last week, which showed the sector expanded at the fastest pace in six months in September as demand grew. The official PMI rose to 55.4 in September from August's 53.9.
The two surveys differ in that the official one is more weighted towards bigger and state-owned firms while the Markit/HSBC one looks more at smaller private firms, pointing to the possibility of a two-tier recovery.
The services industry, which has so far weathered the global
slowdown much better than the factory sector, is an increasingly
important pillar in China's economy, especially as the government seeks to expand domestic consumption to drive growth.
Services accounted for about 45 percent of the economy in 2012 and is the biggest employer in China.
The survey showed that business expectations weakened over the month, with respondents citing muted client demand.
China has unveiled plans to open up its largely sheltered services sector to foreign competition and to test financial reforms in a new free trade zone in Shanghai.
Tuesday's survey followed a pair of PMIs which showed slower-than-expected expansion in activity China's factory sector in September.
The official manufacturing PMI edged up to 51.1 from 51.0 in August, while the final Markit/HSBC PMI inched up to 50.2 from August's 50.1.

Market sentiment for the local market may be affected by the recent decimation of the penny stocks, which may trigger potential margin calls and inflict collateral damage on other counters.
