S&P sees worst week since 2002
Sunday, July 29th, 2007The STI closed down 2.4% on Friday, after the synchronised sell off by Dow Jones on Thursday night (Singapore).
And the worst is probably not over. The Dow fell 1.54% and the S&P fell 1.6% on Friday night as Singaporeans were partying away.

US Market Morning Note
Thursday, July 26th, 2007As the Singapore, and global market seem to be mimicking what ever the US market is doing, here is a low down on earning reports overnight.
