SINGAPORE stocks closed broadly lower on Tuesday, as the final reading on gross domestic product (GDP) missed expectations, and growth outlook was lowered.

The latest flare-up in the China-US trade relationship also weighed on investors' minds.

The Straits Times Index (STI) closed at 3,183.26, down 22.20 points or 0.7 per cent.
