SINGAPORE - Fishmongers at several wet markets around the island were closed but it was business as usual at meat and vegetable stalls as residents largely stuck to their regular Sunday grocery run. Crowds at Yuhua Village Market, for instance, formed long but orderly lines and observed social distancing when The Straits Times visited. Stallholder Mariati Rahim, 44, who sells halal beef, lamb and poultry, said business was brisk at her wet market stall. "This is because of Hari Raya Haji, and we are the only halal stall open now in this wet market," she said. The Muslim festival of Hari Raya Haji is on Tuesday, which is also a public holiday. Other stallholders, like the one selling pork and run by a lady who wanted to be known only as Madam Goh, said crowds were slightly better than they were on Saturday (June 17) likely because fishmongers there are all closed today, and people are less worried. However, Madam Goh, 69, said she is worried that someone in the wet market and food centre will test positive, and she would have to close. "If business is affected further, we just have to put up the white flag," she said. A 63-year-old sundry shop owner, who wanted to be known only as M...

TOKYO (REUTERS) - Japanese manufacturers' business confidence rose in July to hit a more than two-and-a-half-year high, as the country's export-driven recovery remained intact thanks to solid global demand, the Reuters Tankan poll showed. But in a worrying sign, service-sector sentiment turned pessimistic, as firms struggled with the fallout from the coronavirus crisis, according to the poll, which tracks the Bank of Japan's (BOJ) closely watched tankan quarterly survey. "The global economy is showing signs of recovery from the impact of the coronavirus pandemic," a manager at a machinery maker wrote in the poll. "But the outlook remains uncertain, as our customers are putting off business spending decisions because their budgets are on a declining trend." The Reuters Tankan sentiment index for manufacturers rose to 25 from 22 in June, its highest since November 2018, the poll conducted June 30-July 9 showed. The service index fell to minus 3 from a flat reading the prior month. The Reuters Tankan index readings are calculated by subtracting the percentage of respondents who say conditions are poor from those who say they are good.

Singapore, Jun 14, 2021 - (ACN Newswire via SEAPRWire.com) - The best rated LNG Supply, Demand, Pricing & Trading online training is back by popular demand with updated agenda and it will be commencing live on 8 September 2021. At the beginning of 2020, the LNG business was looking forward to another year of expansion after a successful 2019 during which production increased by 42.5 mt and final investment decisions (FIDs) were taken on 71 mtpa of liquefaction capacity. COVID-19 has radically changed those expectations. LNG production continued to increase rapidly in the first quarter of 2020 as output from LNG trains that started up in 2019 built up to full capacity. However, demand weakened in the second quarter as lockdowns in many LNG importing countries to control the spread of COVID-19 slowed economic activity. Increased supply and declining demand have led to an over-supplied market, with spot prices for LNG falling to levels not seen before in the second quarter and the cancellation of US LNG cargoes. However, prices began to recover during the third quarter with demand expected to strengthen in the winter months. The construction of new liquefaction trains has been del...
