Shares of Keppel Corp (KPLM.SI), the world’s biggest oil rig builder, rose as much as 2.2% on Monday after it said its unit, Keppel FELS Brazil, had secured two contracts with a total value of 500 million Brazilian real ($230 million).
At 10:27 a.m., Keppel Corp shares were up 2% at $11.38 on a volume of 2.8 million shares.
“The share price rose because of the contract wins and also the market rebound due to the improving situation in Egypt,” said a local trader.
