With the recent softness in the market, the PB ratio of the STI has come off to around 1.1 times book value or more down one standard deviation below the historical average. In the past 10 years, the
PB ratio has fallen at least 1.5 standard deviations below the historical average on only two occasions - during the global financial crisis and the yuan devaluation in 2016. On both occasions, the market rebounded after a couple of months.
