Market View: Do bubble tea stocks reflect the Chinese stock market?

Chinese tech stocks are hitting highs not seen in more than a year after China’s central bank announced measures to stimulate the world’s second-largest economy.

The central bank on Friday lowered interest rates and injected liquidity into the banking system as Beijing assembled a last-ditch stimulus assault to pull economic growth back towards this year's roughly 5 per cent target. More fiscal measures are expected to be announced before China's week-long holidays starting on Oct. 1. The CSI 300 rallied nearly 15% this week and Hong Kong’s Hang Seng index is set for its best week since 1998.

Dan Chang, Investment Specialist and Trading Representative at PhillipCapital, tells us about the Chinese stimulus measures' impact on the Singapore market and what he is looking forward to in the days ahead.

This week, an unexpected turn of events at the start of a much-anticipated criminal trial of Singapore's former transport minister S Iswaran. The landmark trial marks the first time in 50 years that a political office holder was put in the dock.

On Weekly Wrap, Eugene Tan, Associate Professor of Law at the Singapore Management University, sheds more light on the differences between the amended charges under Section 165 and the original ones under the Prevention of Corruption Act, and shares his views on the developments ahead of Iswaran's sentencing on October 3.
