Singapore share prices are expected to take a breather next week after hitting six-year highs, with a long weekend holiday seen to further dampen trading sentiment, dealers said.
Investors will look for trading leads from the government's announcement Monday of first quarter economic growth figures and from company earnings at the start of the corporate reporting season.
Singapore Exchange Ltd will report its third quarter to March earnings on Tuesday and publishing giant Singapore Press Holdings will announce second quarter to February results on Wednesday.
There will be no trading on Good Friday. For the week ending April 7, the main Straits Times Index rose 18.65 points or 0.74 to 2,552.05 points. Average daily volume was 1.56 billion shares worth 1.24 billion Singapore dollars (774 million US), compared with 1.46 with billion shares worth 1.32 billion dollars the previous week.
