SINGAPORE shares ended Wednesday in negative territory, tracking overnight losses on Wall Street as investors continue to grapple with lingering concerns over rising Covid-19 cases.
The Straits Times Index (STI) closed at 3,068.94 points, down 1.27 per cent or 39.59 points.
Markets in Asia largely tracked the weakness in the United States' reopening sectors as sentiments "continue to revolve around the elevated virus cases and lacklustre August US jobs report", said IG market strategist Yeap Jun Rong.
