THE Singapore bourse stood on positive territory on Wednesday alongside major regional peers buoyed by a corporate-earnings-led rally in the US markets and the absence of any key market-moving news.
The key Straits Times Index climbed 9.21 points or 0.3 per cent to finish the day at 3,343.88 with some 1.8 billion shares worth S$1.1 billion traded.
Almost all other Asian bourses closed firmer, except for Japan which bucked the trend with the Nikkei 225 down half a per cent, ending a rip-roaring 16-day winning streak.
