Sometimes an island of 700 sq km can spread cheer across a surrounding landmass roughly 64,000 times as large. Singapore’s first-half gross domestic product numbers, released on Wednesday morning, helped ensure a good day for equity markets across Asia. Three stocks rose for every stock that fell on the region’s 22 benchmarks; only Vietnam closed down.

There was not much reason, however, for the cheer to spread beyond Asia. That seems appropriate, because Singapore’s rampant GDP growth (following a nasty year-ago fall) – an 18 per cent pace in the first half, the fastest since records began in 1975 – is an almost exclusively Asian phenomenon. Singapore is a decent leading indicator for the rest of the region, but not the rest of the world.

GDP surprises to the downside. The US savings culture will remain a challenge.
