Singapore shares extend losses on Fri, end 1.5% lower on the week

ANOTHER week of trading, another rollercoaster ride for market sentiment.

Singapore's Straits Times Index (STI) ended the week at 3,078.36, dipping 9.61 points or 0.3 per cent. The blue-chip index shaved off 47.27 points or 1.5 per cent from last Friday's close of 3,125.63.

October's first week got off to a bright start with encouraging Chinese manufacturing data and Washington pushing back on reports that it planned to implement capital controls on China.
