Singapore stocks finish mixed

THE Straits Times Index on Thursday rebounded from Wednesday's 28-point loss by 13.78 points to 3,215.55, led mainly by the banks, property counters, Jardine Matheson and Hongkong Land.

Turnover was an average 2.1 billion units worth S$1.04 billion; and excluding warrants there were 218 rises versus 218 falls, so trading was much more mixed than the index's reading might suggest.
