STI flat on weak China data, Wall Street fall
Index dips in fourth straight day of losses; eyes on coming US data for indication on possible September rate rise
WEAK manufacturing data from China and an overnight fall in Wall Street gave the local bourse no reason to sing and dance, with shares in the local bourse ending the day on a cold, flat note.
The benchmark Straits Times Index fell 1.75 points or 0.05 per cent to 3,191.04, extending Monday's losses and capping its fourth straight day in the red.
Elsewhere in the region, the showing was choppy. Japan's Nikkei 225 and Hong Kong's Hang Seng closed little changed.
