STI finishes the week down 1.86%
THE Straits Times Index (STI) fell 49.8 points or 1.86 per cent over the week to finish at 2,634.83 on Friday as ample liquidity continued to lift valuations out of March's peak pessimism, though traders remained wary of a pullback should any negative news emerge. (see amendment note)
