STI DOWN TO 0.23% & SGX MARKET SHARES DOWN TO 1%


STI DOWN TO 0.23%:
It's likely to continue losing today, analyst said.

SGX said that the Straits Times Index (STI) ended 7.13 points or 0.23% lower to 3158.57, taking the year-to-date performance to +9.64%. 

The top active stocks were DBS, which declined 0.05%, Singtel, which declined 1.50%, UOB, which declined 0.27%, CapitaLand, which gained 0.27% and OCBC Bank, with a 0.10% fall. The FTSE ST Mid Cap Index declined 0.12%, while the FTSE ST Small Cap Index rose 0.11%.

According to OCBC, the sharp retreat on Wall Street overnight could weigh on local sentiment, potentially extending STI’s 2-days losing streaks.

SINGAPORE SHARES DOWN TO 1%
SINGAPORE stocks opened one per cent lower on Wednesday, with the Straits Times Index dropping 30.31 points to 3,128.26 as at 9am.

The blue-chip index was dented by US stocks falling overnight on doubts that the new administration can execute US President Donald Trump's pro-growth plans.

About 80.5 million shares worth S$74.7 million in total changed hands, which worked out to an average unit price of S$0.93 per share.

The most actively traded counter was Noble, which fell S$0.004 to S$0.187 with 7.7 million shares changing hands. Other actives included QT Vascular and Artivision Tech.

Losers outnumbered gainers 159 to 25, or about six down for every one up.
