THE weather might be rather sloppy, and many regional indices wilted in the damp. Singapore's benchmark Straits Times Index similarly ended down 4.2 points or 0.1 per cent to 3,520.45.

However, the bull market rages on. Just look at contract manufacturer Venture Corporation, which soared 91 Singapore cents to S$22.48, levels not seen since March 2000.

Meanwhile, Brent crude traded above US$69 a barrel as hedge funds piled on their bets and US inventories tumbled. At home, rigbuilders like Keppel Corp and Sembcorp Marine rose.
