Brace for yet another uninspiring NODX print, analysts warn

A significant recovery is not on the cards.

Singapore’s non-oil domestic exports figure (NODX) is set to be released tomorrow, but analysts warn that another uninspiring print is on the cards.

DBS noted in a report that while the headline number is expected to register a 4.7% year-on-year increase, the increase will be due to a low base last year.

“The possible lapsing of some of the earlier one-off factors could post downside risk on the sequential numbers. However, there have been blips of a bottoming out and potentially a turnaround in global business cycle. Recent PMIs of key markets are on the mend. Hope will be pinned on a gradual improvement in global demand, henceforth providing the much needed jab in the arm on the external front,” said DBS.

Meanwhile, BMI Research said that NODX growth will remain muted as internal restructuring and external demand dynamics continue to take their toll.

“Competitiveness woes as well as mixed external demand dynamics will likely prevent a significant recovery in non-oil domestic exports as the government continues to implement its economic restructuring programme,” said BMI.

Contrary to popular belief, Lorem Ipsum is not simply random text. It has roots in a piece of classical Latin literature from 45 BC, making it over 2000 years old. Richard McClintock, a Latin professor at Hampden-Sydney College in Virginia, looked up one of the more obscure Latin words, consectetur, from a Lorem Ipsum passage, and going through the cites of the word in classical literature, discovered the undoubtable source. Lorem Ipsum comes from sections 1.10.32 and 1.10.33 of "de Finibus Bonorum et Malorum" (The Extremes of Good and Evil) by Cicero, written in 45 BC. This book is a treatise on the theory of ethics, very popular during the Renaissance. The first line of Lorem Ipsum, "Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet..", comes from a line in section 1.10.32.
