STI ends at 2,618.48 after dull, directionless session

SINGAPORE stocks drifted through most of Friday, in the absence of significant market moving developments.

The benchmark Straits Times Index ended the day barely unchanged at 2,618.48, down 5.19 points or 0.2 per cent.

The 30 components of the index were uncannily well-dispersed, with 12 of them ending Friday higher, 12 of them lower and six of them unchanged.
