SINGAPORE shares barely budged amid a mix of favourable domestic exports data and slower China quarterly growth reported on Monday (Oct 18).
The blue-chip gauge Straits Times Index (STI) inched lower by 0.09 point - hardly moving the needle - to 3,173.82 points.
The sluggish showing came although Singapore posted higher non-oil domestic exports for September, buoyed by both electronics shipments and non-electronics.
