Local bourse subdued after London attack

TRADING in the local bourse was rather limp on Monday following the weekend's terror attack in London, escalating rift in the Gulf area and ahead of an event-packed week in terms of macro data and politics.

Singapore's key Straits Times Index fell 1.7 points, or 0.05 per cent, to finish the day at 3,238.31, snapping out of three straight days of gains.

Elsewhere, other key Asian bourses had a weak showing with Japan's Nikkei 225 flat after retreating 0.03 per cent, Hong Kong's Hang Seng down 0.2 per cent and China's Shanghai Composite losing 0.5 per cent.
