If you were in any doubt that the US-China trade war is having an impact on Asia, look no further than Singapore’s latest export figures.
Singapore saw exports fall for a second month in a row, this time by 17.3% in the month of June compared to a year ago.
This dramatic fall comes as Singapore’s growth figures released last week showed a 3.4% decline in growth in comparison to the last quarter.
So why should you care if Singapore is selling less of its stuff to the world than it used to?
