WASHINGTON "returned the favour" by delaying tariffs on Chinese imports till mid-October. But those more than familiar with the unpredictable nature of their relationship, chose to book profits ahead of the European Central Bank's rate decision.
Singapore's Straits Times Index (STI) moved ahead at the open before positions were exited, sending the benchmark dropping 9.56 points or 0.3 per cent at 3,194.96 on Thursday.
It was mixed elsewhere in the Asia-Pacific as Australia, China, Japan and South Korea locked in gains. Like the local market, however, Hong Kong and Malaysia posted losses.
