Noble Group to be removed from STI; CapitaLand Commercial Trust will be added

The STI reserve list, comprising the five highest ranking non-constituents of the STI by market capitalisation, will be (in order of size): Suntec REIT, Neptune Orient Lines, First Resources, Singapore Post Ltd and Keppel REIT.

The indexes are reviewed half-yearly; the next review will happen on June 2.
