Singapore market sees widespread losses
Lower-than-expected earnings by DBS sends bank stocks tumbling; losers trump gainers 2-to-1

The key Straits Times Index (STI) ended lower, with the three local banks tumbling following the unveiling of an uninspiring set of results from DBS Group Holdings before the market opened.
There was an unexpected interlude at the start though, owing to a technical glitch at index provider FTSE Russell which temporarily disrupted real-time values of Singapore and Malaysia's market benchmarks.
