SIA's notes coupon is higher than Temasek's bond.

https://www.businesstimes.com.sg/companies-markets/sia-prices-s600m-notes-issue-names-shells-goh-swee-chen-as-board-director

We had stated yesterday that the Temasek's bond was not attractive.

True enough, SIA prices its notes much higher than Temasek.

The US-China trade war will intensify.

https://sg.finance.yahoo.com/news/u-economic-policy-toward-china-tougher-economists-reuters-012214372--business.html

This is not surprising as Trump sees no reason not to.  We've stated the rationale for such a scenario below.

http://sg-stock.blogspot.com/2018/10/jp-morgan-sees-all-out-trade-war.html

China GDP was growing at 6.5% in Q3 2018.

https://finance.yahoo.com/news/instant-view-chinas-third-quarter-gdp-rises-6-023650286--business.html

The China economy is slowing down and it will affect the global markets because China contributes around 39% of the world GDP growth.

The global stock markets cannot continue to rise when the global economies are slowing down.
