Technology space led with over 40% of the total investment value this quarter with investments worth US$2.7 billion, a 93% rise over the same period last year.

Global Markets Bounce Back

Most Asian markets rose ahead of a closely watched meeting of central bankers later in the week, although concerns linger about Donald Trump's economic agenda and about geopolitical crises. The roster of top central bankers includes Federal Reserve Chairwoman Janet Yellen and European Central Bank President Mario Draghi, who will gather at the annual conference that kicks off Thursday.

European stocks broke a three-day losing streak on Tuesday, building on gains in other markets boosted by signs of a global economic recovery and rising commodity prices.

Markets seem to have moved little by Trump's speech clearing the way for the deployment of thousands more troops in Afghanistan, backtracking from a promise to pull US troops out of the 16-year conflict.

Oil prices Rebound

Oil prices climbed on Tuesday, rebounding from a sharp selloff in the beginning of the week as investors look ahead to U.S. supply data that are expected to confirm the market is tightening. Reportedly, Kuwait's oil minister Essam al-Marzouq said that OPEC will discuss whether to end or extend the production-cap deal at a meeting in November.
