Singapore stocks finish weak on low risk appetite
Singapore shares were flat on Friday, following another weak US session overnight, as investors turned cautious ahead of US jobs data.
The Straits Times Index (STI) tumbled at the open but regained its footing later in the day to end the day lower by 0.03 per cent or 1.04 points to 3,392.29.
On the week, the benchmark added 35.34 points or 1.05 per cent from last Friday's close of 3,356.95. Decliners edged out advancers 191 to 174, with close to 760 million shares worth S$1.01 billion changing hands.
