WITH market volatility arising from renewed US-China trade tensions dominating sentiment in recent weeks, investors had a relatively dull start to the week, for a change.

Singapore's Straits Times Index (STI), which spent most of the session trading lower, was little changed, and recovered to settle at 3,170.77, down 0.88 point.

Trading volume clocked in at 922.48 million securities or 73 per cent of the daily average in the first four months of 2019. Total turnover came to S$643.5 million, 63 per cent of the January-to-April daily average.
