[SINGAPORE] Shares of Singapore’s three local banks continued to slide on Monday (Apr 7), leading a broader market sell-off triggered by concerns over US tariffs.
At market close, DBS had dropped 9.3 per cent to S$39.28; OCBC declined 6.9 per cent to S$15.47; and UOB slid 6.3 per cent to S$33.23.
The benchmark Straits Times Index – which is heavily weighted by the three banks – fell 7.5 per cent to 3,540.50, just days after it breached the 4,000-point milestone on Mar 28.
